Love that the narrator has a Guatemalan accent! There's also a very clearly poetic rhythm/ pentameter in certain parts. 

 

I’m sure there are a lot of things in this book that went over my head. I definitely want to reread it in English and then read the text version again in Spanish since this time, I listen to the audiobook in Spanish. I think that will help me grasp a lot more of the underlying concepts and things that I just didn’t catch this time. But overall, I really did enjoy it. It was very disconcerting the grasp that the president had on his “team” and their need to please him. 

 

There are so many phrases in this book that I grew up hearing (Guatemalan family) and it makes me wonder if they have always been colloquial phrases or if they originated from this book.  (Como no chon; requtecontra; a puchica voz)
