I thought the book was very informative, but never finished it just because the writing style was so boring. I glimpsed through it and just saw a lot of similar stories and bits of poetry that the author tries to interpret. It's a good book, I suppose, for someone who really wants to learn a lot of details about Franco, but I prefer a more broad story. Perhaps since this one just didn't really tell me anything I didn't already come across previously.
