The chapters of the book are quite short only if easy to understand and real interesting. The main heroes of the book behave in such a way that you cannot tear yourself away of the book and you date you are reading, you have the feeling that you are the main hero and you give birth all the things that happen there from the very beginning till the stopping point of the novel.The story takes enter in Madrid (Spain), and the book has a lot of pictures and illustration of the beautiful suburbs of Madrid.

The subject of the book is dedicated t o a young woman and her strange, incomprehensible, sibylline boyfriend and the story is full of mystery, mystics, time travel it is full of miraculous events, which take place and things one can hardly understand, without explaining it with the simple but strong word magic. Elias Miguel Munoz gives in the book some elements of Spanish history, which in his explanation is of great use for students and allow learning something about Spanish history in an easy and interesting way.During the story takes place and continues, students find out what happens to a thief who steals a thing or something which cannot be named as property, but something else.One of the main denotations in the story is Marisol, a young woman. Marisol is a interpreter for one computer fellowship specialized on software, and lives in Madrid with her friend Javier and sister Rocio. present she is depicted like a beautiful young female with her melodic theme and strong doubts. When the reader investigates the s tory, he almost associates himself or herself with Marisol, living her life and being the one with her from the beginning till the end of story. The reader connects himself with her from the very beginning.The main hero has a charming character but acts very reasonable and with a bit of irony. For example, she compares herself to Dulcinea a female character of Servantes novel Don Quijot and to another female character in one challenging computer game Damsel in DistressAlfonso the other character of this interesting story is a charming, tempting and seductive character, who submits his actual human face and shows his worth from the bad side gradually. He is able to mask his realistic face for quite a long period of time and in the book he is charming and seducing Marisol like a real worshipper. Marisol was staggeringly tempted by his behavior (http//www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0072326174/reviews/026-3948048-6710013 ).Javier and Rocio are the secondary h eroes of Ladron De La Mente and they are quite deeply developed by Miguel.Marisol narrates everything what is going on with her and what she is experiencing, in her diary so the story is written partially in a diary form by her. Still, she leaves a space for other characters to show out their feelings and thoughts. The entire story is penetrated by supernormal events and computer technologies so the story is very modern (http//www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0072326174/reviews/026-3948048-6710013 ).Marisol likes to go to the cinema, to the theater, museums, to experience satiny and jolly celebrations to live a joyous life. Still, she likes museums and paintings there -she says that the work of Guernica form her very much. She likes also paintings of DaliAquellos relojes dormidos, flccidos,vacos de vida, me parecan el presagio de algo eran la imagen muerta de un tiempo sin tiempo cut Marisol(These weak, empty hours of life, they seemed to me an omen of so mething, it seemed to be an image, which died from time without time,- tells Marisol about The effort of Memory (Dali, 1931).This work reflects every feeling, the painter wanted to show feelings of inhabitants of the settlement, and victims of the war. Marisol surfs the internet, she reads knowledge fiction and makes some quite interesting associations and connections between the books of fiction and her own challenging story.In every chapter we find themes of Spanish culture, which are very important in the history of Spain.Works Cited1.
