3.0

This was one of the most challenging, if not the most challenging book I've ever read. Besides reading it in Spanish, I don't know enough of the history to know what was factual and what was fabricated, and of the many names mentioned I couldn't always verify who was historical. I'm glad I read it, partly because I lived in Paraguay for a couple years and wanted to understand their beloved author a little more, but I'm very glad I'm finally done with it.
