Interesting subject about a little-known time in World War 1. This is a combination of fiction and true events. The combination makes for interesting reading.
There is so much I could say about this story, besides the fact that it had historical value. It struck me emotionally, as well. I was touched by all the Mexican wife was willing to experience to be able to stay with her husband.
I have been rather disappointing in this novel. The writing style was really weak, and needs much editing. The plot felt to me written in a rush and the conclusion was brought to an abrupt stop leaving me annoyed. The characters are not finely drawn , with shallow personalities.
A well done fictionalized story of the conflicts at the border back in the 1800s. I did enjoy the story, but must admit I skimmed a bit at times. Would still recommend, especially if you enjoy history.
this was a really well done historical novel, it worked for the time-period that was set and I never felt like the real people that this novel was based on were modernized. It was well written and I learned a lot about someone that I didn't know about. I look forward to reading more from the author, as I really enjoyed reading this.
"Pancho Villa felt a red heat flush upon his face as he boiled inside. El Phantasmo showed up and disappeared right under everyone’s nose. But the revolutionary was snapped back to reality by bullets that whizzed over his head. He turned to see the situation going from bad to worse."
