" Wow, there are few books I just can't get through, but this was one of them. Boring and indulgent, its plot, character and dialogue are all sacrificed for a political manifesto. Zzzzzzz. "
" BOOOOORRRRINNNNNNG. Really. Blah blah and more verbal random stuff. I LOVE books about Latin America. Forget it. I finished it hoping to figure out what the point of the book was....sigh. I need to stop picking books by the region the author is from. :) "
" I didn't like how passive the central character was, but I liked how he analyzed relationships between Latin America and the US, and I liked the mystery "
