Three virtues can be seen in the book. The first: the effort to make us
understand more about the history and formation of Mexico. The
second: the enormous seasoning with which the letters of Taibo II
have the characteristic, as always in their books, seriousness and
profound investigation that not only indicates the versions that favor
the narration and tendency of the writing, but also those phrases,
Numbers and quotations that could "justify" the murderers of the
tragic decade. A narrative story of one of the saddest episodes that
best describe Mexico's past and present. Paco Taibo II makes an
excellent narrative, faithful to his style.
Reading this book can be tedious at the beginning, but as you read
on, you see yourself involve in the pages of the book wanting to know
what’s going to happen next, it has and excellent form to describe
the characters involve in the story, and also has and amazing way to
tell the entire story with every detail in it without the necessity of
being repetitive and monotonous, despite being a reconstruction of
what happen on those
days of February of 1913, he has a unique way
to make you feel that every line you read it’s
something new and something fictional
with so much plot in it.
The characters presented in the story has
their own type of personality and a very
remarked one; the author makes a great
effort describe every one of them Both
physically and psychologically, that you can
know its thinking without the necessity of
telling you.
