A review by alexwont
The Green House by Mario Vargas Llosa

3.0

Parts of this book were very compelling, and I read it faster than I normally read a novel with big block pages -- but ultimately it left me wanting a lot more, and I attribute the speedreading to my interest in the settings, and my familiarity with them -- Iquitos, Piura, and the spaces in between. The sense of nostalgia he conjures of them is fantastic.
