Llosa has written a GREAT novel.  Full of sound, fury, love, heroism, lust, compassion, and a host of other emotions and feelings.  I mourned the loss of some characters and was excited that some got their throats slit.  Some survive others die.  Some are heroic on both sides and some are real scumbags on both sides.  All in all this is a great read.  I definitely see why it won a Nobel Prize for lit.
