Fuerte Por Amor Review

2 months after I finished the 1st book . High expectations for this one. I think it should be easier for me to translate.

Chapter I

The influences of the mind. Jose Carlos and his "Sheccid" reunite 5 years after the last time.

Captivating beginning .

Chapter 2 His family has private problems . Emotional intelligence.

Chapter 3 Reunited with his friend Ariadne. Explained his new ideology

Chapter 4 Still wants her no matter what. Resolved . Hasn't changed .

Chapter 5 Passion between long- time friends one night

Chapter 6 Processing what happened in the last chapter. Boundaries. Thoughts on types of relationships .

Chapter 7 Oblivious to Ariadne's feelings and confession . One track mind with his obsession even though he does not know her real identity .

Chapter 8

He visits Mario's mother to seek Sheccid. The past was the subject.

Chapter 9 had a violent confrontation with the same promoter who uses reverse psychology. Mario finds him .

Chapter 10

He recounts what happened from the previous chapter . Parents are stunned .

Chapter 11

explains how sheccid and Mario met. More confusion

Carlos Cuauhtémoc Sanchez 2004 Published by Editorial Diamante Mexico

ISBN: 9687277637

Began : January 2010

Finished: June 27 2014

My journey with Mexican literature begins here. Not something I would usually read . Personal project. captured by the cover art. To me this novel asks the question " Is it worth it to love someone?

Chapter 1

Jose Carlos falls in love with a new girl from school . Doesn't know how to approach her. He is deceived by a corrupt man dealing in adult entertainment via his classmate Mario. Later they catch Ariadne, the friend of his love interest .

Chapter 2

He lets his mother know what happened in the beginning. They have a good mother-son talk . She tells him the extremes of the world outside. Good advice.

Chapter 3

Mixed results with the first encounter with his love interest. His prediction came true. He couldn't prevent disaster from happening .

Chapter 4

He is withdrawn from the world after a setback with public speaking for the first time which humiliated him and he almost gave up but a teacher gave him guidance to be persistent .

Chapter 5

He knows he is different than others. He is intellectual and stands up to immaturity. He gets into a car accident which brings on a lecture from his father. Strengthens his desire and resolve for Sheccid.

Chapter 6

In the beginning he had no will until after a lecture from his father. Then he found his confidence and success. Teenage boy immaturity was demonstrated as the chapter concluded .



Chapter 7 Jose Carlos helps Sheccid when she is reciting poetry. She froze towards the end . He does the right thing.

Chapter 8 Misunderstandings of love friendship and sacrifice . Civil disobedience display .

Chapter 9 Effective human relations lesson. Society at large addressed .

Chapter 10

His personal history ; how he related to others new friendship formed .

Chapter 11

ction packed and with significance. Sheccid is from a high class family and competitive. An "it" girl .

Chapter 12

He had a chance to speak with Sheccid during her punishment . He was defended by Marcela. She told her to give him an opportunity.

Chapter 13

All about confessions. Sheccid admitted she was being difficult . Jose Carlos revealed that he loved her.

Chapter 14 determined with aspirations with the first date that never happened.



Chapter 15 great first date but late. He was more impressed with her. She gave him much to consider about love. Profound.

Chapter 16 Father and son have complications. Real life advice from grandfather. Words are truly powerful .

Chapter 17 Sheccid is distant and absent. He doesn't know where he stands with her. Insight into her family life . She has a soap-opera life .

Chapter 18 Jose Carlos wants to be Sheccid's boyfriend with all his heart. She is doubtful. She had a bad moment with another boy. Even though that was a disappointment, he did have victory as an athlete.

Chapter 19

More information on Sheccid's sad domestic life. Jose Carlos has grand plans for them. Beautiful defense of sacred love and marriage .

Chapter 20

His diary was given to her. It affected her. His family helps him find the right gift.

All about family unity.

Chapter 21

He intended to give her chocolates. Everything seemed to be going well until she criticized his work . He had a rude awakening . I loved the romantic poem .

Chapter 22

Mario's radical transformation and message on the dangers of smoking. Make better choices.

Chapter 23

Carmen Beatriz and the teacher Jennifer helped him feel better after he was down . Explanation of Stockholm syndrome.

Chapter 24

His justification for fighting Adolfo.

Chapter 25

Major physical clash . turning point. War strategies.

Chapter 26

He accepts the truth but Sheccid will be the person that defined his manhood . Necessary growing pains. admire his resilience .

Chapter 27

While writing a novel he is devastated by the news that she was ill. She wrote a letter from her perspective. He dealt with it well . Touching words.

Chapter 28

Criticism for his writing from both ends of the spectrum.

Chapter 29

Artistic license to kill the character Sheccid . He knows of her double dangerous life as an exotic dancer and drug user. She is still alive.

Chapter 30

Parting words.



This marks my first real challenge with a story because it is the first novel that I read that is not already with translation. Many frustrations mixed with trial and error is what I felt trying to find the right person to help me. I learned much about myself and the world around me. This gave me another chance to grow up again . This book gave me meaning . I would recommend this book to many. Good on many levels. Deep with emotion but grrammatically confusing. Can be compared to A walk to remember but with more drama and suspense. Will read the sequel to find out what happens next. Could have been a movie .
Affirmed my knew about life - Relationships are so hard . Despite the fact that women are known for their beauty, they cause heartache for men but some choose to love them anyway . It doesn't matter if I think he is ridiculous to do so . That is how he feels.
