Here are some of the comments from readers of the Lost Diary. We have literally thousands but we'll be posting them a few at a time.
Karen West, a bookseller at Book Passage, Corte Madera:
“. . . lush, provocative exploration – it is a feast and you are a master storyteller.”
Weronika Pannes, a reader from Poland:
“I bought Your book for my close friend for his birthday, but first I read it. Amazing, what it did with me! It took my to another world full of passion, love, tendress and desire. Spain is like alive!”
Linda Goetz, a reader from USA:
“Your Lost Diary of Don Juan is tremendous fun, as an editor myself have noted your wonderous wordplay. Congrats on your novel, and wishing you future success -- I look forward to reading more of your fiction!”
A reader from USA:
“I just finished reading your book, The Lost Diary of Don Juan, and had to email you with a great big "Thank You". I loved the story and believe it is one of those books that should be kept as a reference book. I believe that many of us married people do question whether a person can love another for an entire lifetime, spend the rest of his/her life devoted to only that partner. How is this accomplished? Well, I got my answer by reading the chapter about how all men are contained in each and every man and all women are contained in each and every woman. Another wonderful
quote was that the heart is forever unfaithful and the feelings of love will come and go, but true love is not about what you feel, it is about who you do. Don Juan and I both got answers about devoting love to one person... I will always think about this if there is any question in my mind. I even wrote down these quotes to keep in my wallet to read at a later date. Thank you again for writing such a wonderful story. I look forward to reading more of your books.”
Bart Vandergeten, a reader from Brussels – Belgium:
“I just finished reading the "Lost Diary" in its Dutch translation. I was moved by it, it wouldn't surprise me if one day somebody will make a movie out of it. I also like reading your weblog by the way.”
Dena Saxer, Co-Author Transform Stress into Vitality, Universal Tao Senior Instructor
“I loved it! I read it in two sessions, the last one late into the night - I couldn't put it down. It is suspenseful, moving, sensual, passionate, and very tender. I am planning to read it again shortly.”
A reader from USA:
“I wanted to tell you what a wonderful writer you are. You kept things interesting, romantic and have us wondering what was going to be happening next.”
Sofia Sofaki, a reader from Sydney, Australia:
“I knew from the very start that this novel would exceed my expectations because I couldn't put it down. In comparison, another book I also purchased on the same day set in Ancient Rome took me weeks to finish. It had vivid detail, good structure, spiritual journey but was completely lacking in emotion.”
Feel Free to add your comments here directly. Thank you for reading The Lost Diary of Don Juan
Warmly,

I am in the middle of reading a book (translated into Lithuanian this time). I've got it from my brother as a Christmas gift; he said "cause i believe i know you...you will like it". And he was right! That book is amazing! The reason why i'm leaving a comment not after a reading it but in a middle of a process, is that i wanted to make sure that the diary was found for real and i was searching for info about that...The book attracted me so much, that i'm distanced from a real world already! Anyway....Sad, that i was not able to find any information about the Diary of Don Juan...It is so nice to believe that the was a guy in the past, who treated with woman as they were angels..But on the other hand, good, that we still have good books to read in nowadays. That was the best gift for Christmas.
