"El que haya terminado de leer este libro es testimonio veraz de la estupidez que me impide dejar de leer cuando algo no me gusta.
La edicion que lei de "El Arte de Amar" es de una coleccion buena (cara y cruz, donde la mitad del libro habla del autor y de su obra y la otra mitad es la obra en si). Tal vez lo unico rescatable para mi.
Me cuesta entender que el pobre Ovidio haya sido desterrado por este libro (cuentan que nunca mas le fue permitido regresar a Roma)."
"I loved it. The beginning hooked me. To me it was just a cute book, and it had me laughing at parts. I love the way it was written and it's the first book/poem of it's kind that I read. The ending- I don't know if it's just because I read it in one sitting, or what, but I was hoping for a little more from it. The end is where he writes to the girls. I need more advice on the art of love! Nah, I like this book."
