Summary: Happy Old Year
Review: I read this book in June the 2003 and I thought the book is very nice, interesting and special. The book is An Autobiography
by Marcelo Rubens Paiva (THE AUTHOR), his problems, his happy moments and sad moments. I loved it and I recomend it because this is a motivating book. It's a drama and one true story.

Summary: this book needs more publicity!
Review: Marcelo turns what could be an endless soap opera into one of the most beautiful, delicate and funny books I've ever read.

He proves to be a strong, sensitive individual and integrates part of the history of Brazil during the dictatorship while developing this beautiful autobiography.

My only complaint is that I felt like I was left in the middle of something, the plot didn't offer enough of a closure.

I wish more people in the States knew about this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and Touching!
Review: The best things in life. The worst nightmare you may ever wish to your enemies. Marcelo lives life with an open heart and excellent humor. His space-time coordinates: Brazil, during the military regime. In a fairly small number of pages the reader is kindly invited (in a way only few young writers would know how) to dive into Marcelo's view of existence - how unfair(!). If you have being reading too much Sartre or Kafka, that is a very good medication for the soul. I hope you were born on this planet, otherwise you would find difficult to identify yourself with Marcelo's story ... (? )
