(  ) santhony | Oct 2, 2008 |  Michener is always good, but this novel is sub par when compared to great books like Alaska, The Source, Caravans, and Centenial. I was hoping for more history and the detailed description of bullfighting became tedious at times. ( ) griggit | Jun 13, 2008 | I read most of this book during my first week in Mexico. It explains the unique culture of Mexico through the combined histories of its native and Spanish peoples. It relies heavily on the art of bullfighting as a metaphor. It's more captivating than others of his works I've read. I especially appreciate that, for once, the moral that always comes in the last 50 pages was more personal (involving the narrator, who resembles Michener, acting on his own inspiration). Now I just need to catch myself before referencing his city of Toledo and other fictional elements as historical realities.
