[Vanessa · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was written pretty poorly. The organization of the book was messy and confusing. I normally enjoy and LOVE all my history textbooks but this one was uninteresting and couldn't captivate my attention. And it wasn't the subject matter because I'm very interested in Latin American history, it's just that to me the way the book is written makes it bland.
