desertcart.com: Antes de ser libres (Spanish Edition): 9780375815454: Alvarez, Julia, Valenzuela, Liliana: Books Review: Amazing book, a must read! - OMG, one of the best books I have ever read. This was a book that my daughter had to read for school and she told me it was nice. Coming from her, I decided I wanted to read it. I couldn’t put the book down till I finished it. It made me cry thinking of all those people that might have been suffering due to governments like Dominican Republic. Event though this is a realistic fiction story, it really made me think that the author went through something like this. Now, I will buy and read her other books, I can wait!! The lessons my daughter learned by reading this book was a unique one, be thankful of what you have and never stop believing. Review: wow… que poder tiene este libro.. me encantó leerlo y podía disfrutar la historia de Anita mientras aprendiendo más del español

For Spanish Learners
This is a perfect learning tool for intermediate Spanish students seeking to improve their sense of ease reading. Level is just challenging and plot, both a political thriller and coming of age story, maintains interest.

Good book for Spanish learners
An excellent book for intermediate level Spanish learners who are looking for reading practice. This book presents a simple, very relatable story. The short length is also an advantage for non-native Spanish readers.

Great Story
As a Latin American woman myself, I felt totally connected to the story, the language is rich, story is fresh and it gives you a feeling that even tough there is so much injustice and cruelty, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, it also gives you an incredible view into how you love your country so much that you are willing to do anything so your children would have a better tomorrow. I absolutely would have my daughter when she turns 14 read this book, I think it would be great reading material for a teenager.

Me resulta un poco difícil aceptar que un libro en Kindle tenga practicamente el mismo precio que un libro impreso, pero sea cual fuere la forma que llegue a tus manos creo que vale la pena leerlo. Las historias normalmente son escritas a traves o de o sobre sus protanonistas, pero este libro se sale de esa tendencia: habla de como una niña de escasos 12 años vive los finales de una de las dictaduras mas sangrientas en la historia de los pueblos americanos, la del dictador dominicano Rafael Trujillo. A mi, particularmente, me ha conmovido al punto de soltar lágrimas al final de su lectura.

Realistic, sad, but respectful of the survivors of the Trujillo dictatorship.
I loved it. Great for younger readers who want to learn Dominican history. Interesting characters and a hopeful turning point.

I'm learning Spanish. I thought this would be a great book to help me consolidate my lessons. Needless to say. I find it useful but my level of Spanish is still very low. However, it was delivered in good shape and on time.
