"Oh, my. Read in book group. Don't think anyone liked it. It was dreary, and, to be utterly ethnocentric, it felt very, very foreign, very distant, very hard to understand."
"This book is like poetry . . . a sensory experience to read! The content is a bit hard to take at times considering the atrocities of the President. But like "Schindler's List", this book is a must read in terms of bringing to light the inhumane treatment of the Guatemalan people."
"Amazing book that is an allegory for the struggle of Latin American countries in the 60s and 70s against government sanctioned "disappearances" and U.S. proxy involvement. Loved it"
