I received an ARC from Booksprout and I'm willingly leaving a review
Really interesting facts, but mostly about elections, politics, people's moods depending of who was president, or under which influence the country was under, and the likes. Not much and/or nothing about the people's habits, food, clothing, buildings, etc. That's too bad because that defines a country also makes us understand them more. Written more like an essay than a book, there are many repeats from one paragraph to the other.

difficult to finish

The content of this book is great. The actual history of the Dominican Republic is fascinating. However the writing style was as dry and boring as possible. It was hard to get through, and it was difficult to remember what I read afterwards because it was delivered in such a monotone, school assignment type of way.

History of Dominican Republic

This is enlighten on the history of it people and the richness of their culture. I would recommend this book for others to read; one of the last things was about the past and the excitement about their future!

Collection of Generalities

Here is a list of generalities - references to struggles, reforms, setbacks, wars, rebellions, achievements, &c. It would have been interesting to have learned of the specific details of some of these.

More like an essay not a book

The book is filled with options not much fact. A book about history but not many histories involved, no stories at all.
