La reina del sur/ The Queen of the South
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Alfaguara, 2008

Could not stop reading!!!
This is my first book by Perez-Reverte and I just loved it. The easy flow of the story keeps you wanting more and more. Very realistic, when you are reading you are not sure whether is the description or real events (if any) it transports the reader to the different ...
  
  











  



  
The Flanders Panel
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Harvest Books, 2004

Loved it!
"The Flanders Panel" was the first Perez-Reverte book I read, and as soon as I finished it, I was ready for more! I found the setting of the story to be very believable as far as the art restoration and museum milieu. I liked the main character, Julia, and I was ...
  
  











  



  
Captain Alatriste
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Plume, 2005

a spanish swashbuckler
For lovers of the Three Musketeers, here is a modern Spanish version, the first of a series. The historical detail is wonderful, the characters compelling and it did remind me of one of those 19th century romances I loved so much as a teenager. Why not five stars? ...

The Seville Communion
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Harvest Books, 2004

Eucharistic Detective Story with a Keystone Cops Flair
Ten years after its initial English Language publication, I've finally read "The Seville Communion," and I apologize to Arturo Perez-Reverte for having ignored it all these years! It's one of his best and best-written stories. Kudos to Sonia Soto, translator, as her ...
  
  











  



  
The Club Dumas
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Harvest Books, 2006

You need to know your Dumas
Usually when I view a movie (in this case The Nine Gates), if I see it is based on a book, I read the book. As usual, don't expect the book to be the same as the movie, although it comes close in some areas. The book was far better and was more "gripping". However, ...
  
  











  



  
The Queen of the South
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Plume, 2005

Fasten Your Seat Belt
From Mexican towns ruled by drug Lords to the southern coast of Spain, Perez Reverte takes us on a wild ride. Hooked from the beginning, the reader follows the vertigenous career of Teresa Mendoza, who changes from victim of circumstances to Queen of the South. I ...
  
  











  



  
The Painter of Battles: A Novel
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Random House, 2008

Reverte's Finest Novel to Date
I just finished reading this melancholic masterpiece. This is by far, Arturo Perez Reverte's finest book. I am no philosopher, but his ruminations on war, brutality, and man will make you ponder yourself and the darkness in man's soul. That being said, it is a ...

His Best To Date
Perez-Reverte has struck gold with his latest in the Captain Alatriste saga, "The King's Gold." Full of swordfights, double-dealing, suspense, the honor of rogues, and subtle hints of the future twists in to be completed books, this new novel is clearly the best so ...

El Sol De Breda
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Punto de Lectura, 2005

Just read it!
El Sol de Breda es el tercer libro de la saga del Capitán Alatriste. Si no has leído los anteriores dos (Las Aventuras del Capitán Alatriste, y Limpieza de Sangre) entonces no leas éste...claro lo puedes leer pero te vas a perder una serie de detalles necesarios para ...
  
  











  



  
La Sombra Del Aguila/ The shadow of the Eagle (Alfaguara Hispanica)
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Santillana USA Publishing Company, 1998

Hostias para Napoleón!
La Sombra del Aguila es un extraordinario relato sobre la conquista Napoleónica, pero es narrado por un soldado español, que detesta (como hicieron la mayoría de los españoles) al "emperador", petit cabrón como le llaman. El humor llega a extremos brillantes. Y así, en ...

The Club Dumas
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Harcourt, 1997

Perez-Reverte, In Spanish or English, a great author.
Much better than the movie. Great info on forgeries, book making,engraving and of course the history of books dealing with the "devil." I read this in English first and was so impressed I had to read the original. I found the original as easy to read as any ...
  
  











  



  
The Nautical Chart
Arturo Perez-Reverte

Harvest Books, 2004

A novel that deserves more than five stars.
Forget the sunken ship, the treasure, the literary allusions, and all the rest. What is left is the description of an intense obsession and fierce longing for the unobtainable. And it is beautifully written. If you have ever fallen for someone so hard you built a ...
