[Ravi Singh · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a bullfighting aficionado I was very interested in getting the real life perspective from other people who have experienced Spain and the bullfighting circuit. I was not disappointed. The author has met with the like sof John Fulton and many other living household names and legends. The work covers the history and the present life and times of bullfighters, the bulls and how they are kept as well as what motivates the audience and those drawn to bull events, like the Pamplona bull chase.
Well written as a part biography (of many people), part autobiography, part travel log. All a success.

Full of information and atmosphere.
