Dirty Blond and Half Cuban reached out and grabbed me from the shelf of "new arrivals" at our local bookstore. When I got home, I curled up to read in my favorite chair. The next thing I new, I was walking the streets of Havana, experiencing a world that I could never have imagined. The smells, sounds and sites of Cuba intoxicated me. The novel is an absolutely wonderful tale about a young half American - half Cuban woman stranded in Havana. This story won't let you go until the last page and serves delicious characters that you will remember long after you finish your millionth formula best seller. Great reading. Five Stars and a book award to Lisa Wixon.

to each his own I suppose...but I was captivated by the story and the way she caught the personality of the characters.

My wife bought this and I picked it up and read through the whole weekend. Not an easy story to hear but is humor filled and well written. Interesting about sexual tourism from the perspective of the women who are the victims. The best line in the book refers to sexual colonialism. . .exactly what is happening in Cuba. . .

Rating: - Dismal
What dismays me most about attempts by non-Cuban authors writing about Cuban-thematic books is that, often, not always, they reduce Cuba into caricature. "Dirty Blonde" has its luminous moments, I must admit. It is even funny, at times. However, it is nothing more than a "half-azzed" attempt to understand the complexities of an island in transition. Furthermore, this book is such an imitation to other books on similar subjects, that I would suggest reading those for a change.
