So far, not one of my favorite Allende books. I guess this was written more for teens, and it was a bit plodding to me. I liked it, but didn't love it. The premise, to me, was a little unbelievable. What parent in their right mind would let their teenage son go traipsing around the Amazon with this so-called grandmother? Quite fantastical reading, though not very believable, and definitely unlike other books I've read of hers. Very Cohello-esque, if you like his writing you might like this.
