Ricardo Montalban, a Genuine Gentleman!
I was lucky to recently get a copy of "Reflections: A Life in Two Worlds,"co-written by Ricardo Montalban and Bob Thomas.Once received, I could not put it down and read it in one session.Ricardo's gentleness and sincerity reflected in his various movies and television shows seemed to be verified in the book.So is his serious side.He writes the book with great honesty, at times making fun of himself and his relationship with his wife and children.At moments I cried along with him, but more so I laughed along with him.I walked away with the feeling that when I closed the book, I knew the total man, but a question remained. Why did Ricardo not call it "Reflections:A Life in Many Worlds"?He seemed to have gone through many and conquered each to grow into the fantastic man one could only admire. Throughout the book, he showed great interest in his fellow man, no matter if it is a fellow actor or a person he just met.The book made me reflect on my own life and the many worlds I had to go through and adapt to.I will try to get a second book, if possible, to make it a Christmas gift to a friend of mine who has lived in the two worlds Ricardo Montalban so sincerely describes.

A really good book!
I very highly recommend this auto-biography written by actor Ricardo Montalban. It is a great book for any fan of his. It was so interesting I couldn't put it down. It deserves as many stars as it can get. Read it and you wont be disappointed.He is an actor that was true to his Catholic faith through it all, and is a great father and husbandHis life is really a wonderful example for anyone.I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Great reference book for translators
Every judiciary interpreter and translator (English-Spanish) should have this reference book. It conveys the most important features of the American Legal System in Spanish and English. Because the language is nontechnical is an excellent introduction for language professionals seeking specialization in legal translations.

The Law and Your Legal Rights/La Ley y Sus Derechos Legales
The Law and Your Legal Rights should be part of every Hispanic family's personal library.The book provides an easy to understand guide to the rights and responsibilities of all U.S. residents. Its explanation of theU.S. court systems is clear and concise, as well as its narrative ofimmigration and labor laws. The book's ability to "speak" intwo languages--English and Spanish-- is one of its best features since itwill help imigrants to obtain a basic understanding of their obligationsand rights.Jess Araujo, Esq., has provided the Spanish speaking Americanwith a valuable tool. The book should be read by all American students inmiddle school and/or high school. ... Read more
