Description

Cheaters take a long look at the thrill of the romantic chase, and the obstacles that can block its path. Stephan Mitchell just can't limit himself to one woman. There are too many beautiful ones in the world, and life is too short. Lovely Chante Marie Ellis wonders if she will ever meet a man who won't cheat on her. She vows she won't be hurt again. But when Stephan and Chante meet, they feel an immediate attraction.

Primero està Stephan , el que tiene màs minas de las que puede manejar PEEERO todavìa està a tiempo de pasar a OTRA vida .

Le sigue Jake ,que es igual de infiel que Stephan PEEERO no va a cambiar nunca .El eterno pirata . El que va a tener sesenta años y va a seguir corriendo atràs de cualquier veinteañera que se le cruze.

Le sigue al final Darnell , el que todavìa cree en la monogamia y pretende ser fiel para toda la vida ---Hasta que cae rendido ante una chica sensible que no hace màs que admirarlo . Sin embargo , a diferencia de los anteriores Darnell es el que se resiste . (Y eso que lo de el es amor) . El que es infiel con el corazòn.

El 90% de los hombres que aparecen ademàs de esos tres principales son una basura tras show more otra . (Bah ,en mi opinión, obvio. Y ,basura es una palabra fuerte pero todavía no se me ocurre otra). Todos meten los cuernos ,todos mienten , todos traicionan de una manera u otra .

A ver....

No quiero caer en la misandria que mi psicòloga cree que me domina el caracter de tanto en tanto pero me parece honesta la manera en que el autor representa a esa mayoria de hombres . Punto .

Màs alla de mi opiniòn sobre lo que trata la historia (bastante larga , por cierto) , el libro megustó muchísimo . Es entretenido , dramático por momentos pero al final resulta ser el más light que leí -hasta ahora -de Dickey . Habla de la infidelidad , el machismo ,la amistad entre hombres ,la amistad entre mujeres , la mala influencia de los matrimonios en conflicto sobre la crianza de los hijos , los celos entre amigos y otras cosas más.

Muy bueno.

My all time favorite EJD book. I've read this book over and over, and I never tire of Stephan and Chante. Love it. My favorite.
Very engaging. Couldn't put it down.
