Brasyl works for Brazilians!

Jacques Barcia has posted a review of Brasylat Human 2.0. "McDonald was able to capture, with amazing precision, th Brazilian spirit. And he did this without clichés, without hullabaloos, but with critical observations regarding the importance Brazilian people gives to beauty, soccer and TV. Besides, geographically everything is right and linguistically, it is better than most foreigners trying the language of Camões."

The conclusion: Despite a great deal of Portuguese mispellngs, Brasyl is "A hell of an accomplishment for a gringo, definitely Brasyl is a book Brazilians must read."
