Title: Distorted Reality
Review: For those people who enjoy reading this kind of literature, this may be a gripping, can't-put-it-down kind of book. But for anybody who has any idea about Spain and its people, it is a complete joke...I know it is fiction, but the author didn't bother to write a note explaining that, like serious authors do. And I'm afraid that many readers are going to believe all the absurdities that are said about Spain in this book. True facts and names are mixed with fiction in a dangerous way. The American president's name is Lawrence, but the Spanish prime minister and king keep their real names, why?..I have to admit though, that I had some good laughs with this book. It is evident that a computer translation program was used to make the characters speak Spanish. The result is hilarious: not even the Spanish characters can speak Spanish! And no wonder the Op-Center diplomat is shot to death at the beginning of the novel: "Fusilar!" doesn't mean "gunman!"; it means "shoot!"
Is the review positive or negative?
