Paula by Isabel Allende
4.0
I really enjoyed this book.
This book acts essentially as an autobiography of Isabel Allende. You get a clearer picture of the people in her life from whom she draws to develop the characters in many of her books.

5.0
This book teaches you how your body works in understandable terms. I like keeping it around for a reference. It's only downfall are the corny jokes and "artwork."
