Voy a tratar escribir solamente en español, porque yo leí el libro por la clase de español. El libro es bien y es muy facíl para leer. El cuento es interesante pero no es algo especial.

Voy a tratar a escribir esta critica solomente en español (tengo un examen de hablar en mi clase de español)

Es un libro muy facíl para leer. Los personajes son muy simples (y supér sexistas). La trama es simple también y muy obvia. Pero, es mas interesante que otros libros que leímos en clase.

La Casa Embrujada es el primero novela español que yo leó. Es una novela misteriosa sobre una casa embrujada. Me gusta el libro pero no me gusta Pepino. Él es el famoso detective mexicano en la novela. Desafortunadamente, Pepino es machista así que no me gusta él. Su ayudante, Panzón, también es muy machista. Contó chistes misóginos y yo pensé los chistes son inapropiados y falsos.

>> La Casa Embrujada is the first spanish that I have read. It's a mystery novel about a haunted house. I liked the book but I did not like Pepino. He's a famous Mexican detective. Unfortunately, Pepino is very chauvinistic so I did not like him. His assistant, Panzón, is also very chauvinistic. He told misogynistic jokes and I thought they were inappropriate and untrue. <<

Besides the mildly offensive characterization of these Spanish protagonists, I enjoyed the novel. The story was intentionally written for students studying the language and I thought it was very well-done in that context. The storyline really picked up towards the end of the book and I was actually surprised when we neared the resolution.

Probably the best of the series, since Pepino's actually semi-intelligent in it and solves it through a bit of skill. The others in the series are just a lot more corny and predictable. Very reminiscent of Inspector Clouseau from Pink Panther; incredibly arrogant while often bumbling his way to the answer, along with his sidekick Panzon who likes to eat all the time. Great way to learn and practice Spanish!

I read this for my high school Spanish class. It was silly and sometimes annoying, but it did a good job of introducing new vocab words and grammar constructions.
