If only every book was this good
It's no wonder this short little novel stood in the Argentine bestsellers list for about 27 WEEKS. I too read this book in one sitting, but not because of its lenght,(even though it helps)but but because its so good and so well written that I literaly went out and bought a copy for each of my friends for christmas last year and each one stated that it was the best gift they had recieved. The cover might be a bit tacky but hey never judge a book by its cover. there are so many things to say about this novel that there isn't enough room to write about it. All I have to say is buy it, it's worth every penny.
one of the best writers ...
I have read in the longest time . I was going to write that he is the best writer form argentina , but that statement does not do him justice . I too read this book in one sitting and since then giardinelli has become one of my favorite writers . I own every one of his books . The ending is surprising and also genius. Get this book you definitely will not regret it .
Passion is destructive
From the very first scene, this book creates a mood of sensuality and destruction. Araceli is fascinating and deadly. Mempo G. has all the facets of a writer I like- sensuality, ability to create tension and make one think. Sultry Moon is a novel one will never forget for its enigmas- the fine line between reality and madness.

El cielo para el lector
Ese primer escalofrío, esa terrible sacudida que el cuerpo inmaduro e inexperto sufre en el momento en que se acerca ella; ese temblor inminente e irreparable, esa insoportable arritmia del corazón cuando ella está en el baño y por el cerrojo se deja ver su aterciopelado triángulo-- todo eso es el cielo con las manos. Mempo Giardinelli explora y viola, a través de un adolescente enamorado de su pensionada, los límites de la pasión y el erotismo. Excelente relato de aguda precisión, exquisita descripción e insuperable belleza.

Murderous love triangle from an Argentine talent....
This tale of a murderous love affair with a surprise ending is quickly paced and spiced with brief paragraphs of reflective insight by the main character on the criminal acts committed. In brief, it's fun. It's like a ride on the carousel, the ride goes up and down and then before you know it you have ended up back where you started. In this case, each character has highs & lows and then eventually comes full circle by having to decide if they should eliminate that one person blocking their road to freedom, just as they must decide at the start of the book.
