Mi color favorito es verde. A book review. Mi color favorito es verte. Why I chose this book?. In Spain we have a very famous novel awards call “Premios Planeta”, “Planeta " is the name of a famous publishing house, this book was the finalist last year. What about the title?. I love this title. It is a pun because “verde” ,the color ,and verte ,the action, have a very similar spelling in Spanish. I think that it sounds very poetic. The author. She is a journalist, I knew very few about her , in spite of being very well known in my country. She takes part in some television programs as well as writes in a famous newspaper and has written lots of novels before that. I have to recognize that this is the first time I read her, but it won´t be the last. The book. It´s supposed to be autobiographic, based in a love experience she had. Apart from the plot ,which is very funny ,I could consider the book even a page-turner, it is the way she tells the story, full of personal details what surprises me more. The story catches your attention from the very first moment because the plot is fresh, vivid and funny and she creates a mysterious atmosphere around her lover disappearance.

Mi color favorito es verde. A book review.

Mi color favorito es verte.

Why did I choose this book?
In Spain we have a very famous novel award call “Premios Planeta”.  “Planeta " is the name of a famous publishing house and this book was the finalist last year.

What about the title?
I love this title. It's a pun because “verde” - meaning green in Spanish, and verte - to see you - have a very similar spelling in Spanish. I think it sounds really poetic.

The author.
She's a journalist, I know very little about her,  in spite of her being very well known in my country. She takes part in some television programs as well as writing in a famous newspaper. She has written lots of novels before this one. I have to admit that this is the first time I've read her work, but it won´t be the last.

The book.
It´s supposed to be autobiographical, based on a love experience she had. Apart from the plot, which is very funny and the pace - the book is a real page-turner - it's the way she tells the story, full of personal details which surprises me the most. The story catches your attention from the very first moment because the plot is fresh, vivid and funny and she creates a mysterious atmosphere around her lover's disappearance.
