Summary: FUNNISISIMO
Review: Bill C. and Bill T. must have had my family in mind when they wrote their book. "The 15 household items (circa 1970)" were, and in some cases still are, in my parents home in Hialeah. If you were raised in South Florida you cannot miss this book. You will laugh at the turn of every page and you will laugh OUTLOUD. This book defines a generation that at times seems torn between their Hispanic roots and their American upbringing, the Arroz con Pollo and Diet Coke (or Tab) generation. Whether you've been in the United States five years of fifty years, if you've lived in South Florida you will relate to this book. But most importantly, buy it for the yucks you'll get out of it. It's well worth every kilo.

Summary: Awesome! Funny! Add it to your personal library!
Review: This book has become one of my favorites. I do not speak Spanish but can still fully appreciate the humor in this book. I just wish I had this book years and years ago when I first met and married my husband. You see, his father's family is from Cuba and this book would have helped me understand some of the sayings one hears in Miami. When I read excerpts and words from this book, my family-in-law adores it! They too think that it's an entertaining book. I find it's especially good for the children whose parent(s) emigrated to the USA from Cuba in the 1950's-1970's - "baby boomers" and such. Buy it & enjoy!

Summary: Un libro muy chistoso, pero un poco cortado.
Review: This book is funny as hell, but it seems a bit short. Any Spanish-speaking gringo's going to get a kick out of this book. I thought English had some funny expressions, but a few of the lines out of this book are just so messed up I almost passed out laughing. Even some of the things that almost make sense are just so bizarre that you can't quit laughing. A must have for any Spanish student or bilingual Gringo.

Review: This book is truly like no other..If you're parents are Cuban, you can relate to the entire book... I felt as though the authors had lived with my family... It's hilarious.. You will enjoy this book and it's great to see that you are not the only one, whose parents believed and said all of the sayings in this book!
