## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant if somewhat dated insight into Central America
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2013*

This short book is an almost perfect example of insightful travel writing. The work reminds one of the possibilities of the genre, combining shimmering prose with acute observation. The fact that some of that observation has proven deeply flawed is simply a gift of hindsight. As a picture of central America (an area I know well) at a certain crucial moment of its tortured history the book is simply essential. While the book is unashamedly pro Sandinista, Rushdie is critical of their policy of censorship and failure to include the tribal and black minorities in their revolution. The Jaguar Smile also reminds us of the murderous policies of  Ronald and Ollie. Sadly Ortega is back in power and proving little better than that corrupt US duo. But the Jaguar Smile is more valuable for its art than its dated politics. Enjoy it for what it is - a minor masterpiece of travel writing - too often a mediocre genre.

    Book itself does not look brand new
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2020*

Haven’t read the text yet. But book cake with a small broken edge and looks a little dirty. No biggie, just doesn’t seem brand new.

    A glimpse into a point in history.
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2016*

This is an interesting book on the Nicaraguan Revolution, sometimes referred to as the Sandista, Contra issues. It is one observers view of how things were in Nicaragua during the tail end of that time. The author is not completely un-biased, nobody is, but he does do a good job of presenting what he saw there without choosing sides and is upfront about his bent. Over all a useful glimpse into an important part of that countries history.
