Cosmopolitan

"Love piece for two, it's one of the best in South America in this category."
Hamburger Abendblatt

"With the 'bad girl' Vargas Llosa has created a fantastic novel character that makes the book alone worth reading: Seductive and beautiful on the one hand, freezing cold and almost repugnant brutal in their selfishness on the other side, a kind of female Mephisto. She does not stop at anything. "
Radio Bremen

"Overall ... The Bad Girl is a very readable novel about the pranks of love, about the fine line between truth and lies. Above all, however, the novel offers a stimulating reflection on literature in general, the novel in particular and above all on literary translation. «
