What Members Thought

I read this book in Costa Rica while traveling with a good friend. The fact that there were three sentences in a 300 page book bothered me. I think the discussion of dictators in power is a great topic for the book, but I would get really lost in the neverending sentences, and come back to still find the corruption running rampant.
