Here's my November 2008 Review (4 Stars); "I just finished reading through through the direct way (1-56). It was more than good enough to make me want to come back later and read it hopscotch with the expendable chapters.
This probably dosen't make sense unless you've opened the book.
Ah well. "
Here's my November 2013 Review (5 Stars); An amazing novel. One that unfolds before you (especially if you've read it before) and plays with concept and memory-aspect of rereading as freely as it moves the characters about. Well worth the read, and especially worth the reread.

Es como la segunda vez que intento leerlo realmente no me llama la atención la novela
No entendí ni un carajo y me dejó con una crisis existencial, pero es la perfección.
Mucho se ha dicho y mucho se dirá aún sobre Rayuela. Para ser honesta, me desesperó a veces. Este libro, en parte clase de filosofía y de cultura general, en parte exaltación y a la veces crítica al estilo de vida bohemio, en parte historia de amor, en parte historia de amistad; empuja los límites de la realidad y desde mi perspectiva, su mensaje principal es que cada quien tiene derecho a ver el mundo de la forma que se le dé la gana. Pero esa es mi perspectiva y si algo deja claro Cortázar con Rayuela es que cualquier cosa puede significar cosas muy distintas para cada persona; así que cada quien tomará de este libro -y cualquier otra novela, de hecho- lo que necesite tomar porque todo y nada es absurdo a la vez. En conclusión: dudar, ante todo, cuestionar todo; incluso, especialmente, a uno mismo.

Seinfeldian in that it's about nothing at all. The characters are tedious, unlikeable pseudo-intellectuals (which is the joke). Oliveira, in particular, is a prig.
I didn't have the courage to do the hopscotch method this first time around. 350 pages was more than enough.
Cortázar was so talented that it wasn't entirely unenjoyable. I much prefer 62: A Model Kit (which was spawned from this work)
