Review
There are many unforgettable parts in this book that got stuck in my head as if I watched them on the big screen: the part where the children were asked to pray to God for ice cream, the part where Joaquin told his niece Elena what an idiot she was because I wanted so much to tell that to Elena too, and every single betrayal in this story which were downright devastating. I have nothing, but utter disgust over Fidel Castro and the men and women who were blinded by their loyalty to Fidel. Nevertheless, I was enlightened and entertained by this literary piece, and was satisfied with how the story ended.
Overall, I am giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It was a great story! I was impressed by such good flow of narrative, fascinating characters, and entertaining dialogues. The entire book was a mix of heavy drama, romance, humor, thriller, fiction, and nonfiction. I highly recommend this book to readers who want to feed their mind and soul.
