A review by robynryle
The Feast of the Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa

3.0

This was slow, slow reading, but interesting window into the Trujillo era, or the end of the Trujillo era in the Dominican Republic. If you have a weak stomach for torture, skip a lot of the end. I can't say the writing is beautiful, which makes sense because it's been translated, but it is one of those stories that leaves you thinking afterwards about how even after the dictator's gone, the effects don't go away.
