Scarcely one of Vargas Llosa's pages fails to grab and fascinate ... Above all Vargas Llosa captures the confusion of battle and the dizzy incomprehension of those involved. Source: Sunday Telegraph
Powerful and haunting ... Vargas Llosa's work is of such scope, his handling of the big questions so confident and intellectually exciting, that one hesitates to fault him. Source: New York Times
