 Rayuela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rayuela (1963), translated into English as Hopscotch, is the most famous novel by the Argentine writer Julio Cortázar.
Hopscotch is a dazzling literary experiment that ranks among the most important novels written in Spanish in the 20th century.

You wouldn't know it by listening to this way-posthumous self-released disc, but Hopscotch were once one of Tampa's most popular and respected ska bands.
I'm not sure if it's the perspective of hearing most of these tunes for the first time since the band's breakup nearly two years ago, or if it's just a bad recording, but this disc does very little to show what people got so excited about.
If you liked the band when they were around, this might be worth picking up -- but then again, you might be better off with your memories.

Walter Matthau is in peak form in Hopscotch, a featherweight spy-game comedy in which he plays a CIA agent who's way smarter than his dimwitted superiors.
Over-the-top silliness seems to be a common theme in these films, but Hopscotch (1980), based on a book written by Brian Garfield, also a comedy involving spies, manages to rise above, avoiding the slapsticky and crude humor, rather providing a charming and intelligent story that entertains throughout.
Hopscotch is a wonderfully witty, light comedy with a dash of sophistication that nearly everyone can enjoy.
