Dr. Peterson's argument here is a little
bit as if I took up
alpaca ranching and then two years later praised myself for all
of the timid, wooly, camelids on my property.
The first few chapters are a little slow because the novel is told from the perspective
of seven different characters in three different persons - first, third, and the slightly awkward second - which takes a
bit of getting to grips with, but once the groundwork is laid the plot moves at a fair clip, offering many reasons to keep reading, not least
of which is the opportunity to experience a different side
of Bolivia from what most
of us imagine - suffice to say, it ain't all ponchos and
alpaca!
