As stated in the preface, this is not an standard history book. It gives the story from a workers perspective. In a way, it is enlightening . But some times it gets too difficult to bear all the sadness. If this book did not inspired the 1% slogans, certainly in line with them.
There are several basic questions about Tanja's involvement with the FARC. This book unravels just one, the why. As of, what does she thinks know, what is her real relationship with the other members of the guerrilla, what is her stand on the kidnapping/retention of militaries it says nothing. Even worse, Botero never asks the difficult questions, nor to Tanja, nor to Jojoy. While guerrilla fighting is uneven by description, journalism shall not. The book only shows one side of the story, halfway between chronicle, editorial and interview.

Some orchestra music purist catalogue Jazz music as just music-masturbation. I always thought that simile was too far fetched not only to be applied to the rich music genre, but to most of the popular culture itself. Well, this book made me change my mind. As the pages go on, the bad characters perform a gross and just plain wrong act of villainy after another; while the good guys are just lame. Until 75% of it, I still had hope on King turning the history around, but it just went downhill. Don't take me wrong, I can accept and even enjoy the gore as the next guy, but the history has to bring interesting turns; this book only crushes your hopes as pages go on. Really, do not read it. No, really, seriously, it is not worth it.

I enjoyed the first book more than the second and third. The last one was just too long... no many twists in the history. And I missed the descriptions of the big thing.
