Mr. Lewine's "Death and the Sun: A Matador's Season in the Heart of Spain" has its moments. Yes, the author is every bit as knowledgeable as the authors of the other books I have read about this subject. I have been reading quite a number of books about Matadores as of late so by the time I got to this one I realized I had somehow lost steam. I gave it 3 stars not for lack of writing abilty or knowldedge of the subject matter, but because the story mostly dealt with a present day bullfighter as opposed to the legendary names of the past, such as Manolete, Joselito, Juan Belmonte, etc. For some reason there seems to be more tragedy, more colorful tales when their stories are told. Mr. Edward Lewine is a true "aficionado" and deserves credit for his smooth writing. I did enjoy the book and for anyone interested on having a collection of these type of books it certainly would be a fine addition. Yes, I gave it a 3 star rating perhaps a little too unfairly but like I said, the past bullfighters and their stories attract me more. Never the less it is definitely a fun book to read and very detailed on explaining the whole experience of the art. Godd Job Mr. Lewine, do not judge my 3 stars too harshly. Ole!
