“This book just wasn’t for me. It’s about the underpinnings of a revolution that is about to take place in Central America, and the variety of Americans who find themselves caught up in it for a number of reasons.
From the nun and priest, who run a mission that is a cover for their underground organization to the ex-military man who didn’t want to become involved, but finds himself there anyway, there weren’t any characters that I cared about. And also, the young, psychotic guy who has a drug problem and doesn’t mind murdering people left and right.
P.S. There is a strong trigger warning for animal and child abuse.
The plot didn’t flow, and there are no chapters. There are simple viewpoint breaks as we head hop from person to person. There are far too many characters, and at first, it is hard to distinguish between them.
I wasn’t a fan. 2 stars.”
