i was caught by surprise that i was to have this posted a week ago! i feel horrible for it being so late!
this book is definetly very confusing and time consuming. the first thing i noticed (im sure like everyone else) is that there are no quotations. this made it take longer to read because i would read over a sentence, and then have to re-read it and try to figure out who it is thats supposed to be saying it.
i noticed that because of the inclusion of the compiler's half-missing notes, it gives off the same idea that i got from facundo, that this is a real account. the sense that the book is being written as a historical account.
im still having a hard time getting through this book, its not a a bad book, but i think im not getting everything out of the book that i should be getting, i never considered myself much for someone that was good at appreciating literature that is hard for me to understand. but i think im getting better, and i think by the end of this course, and after reading this book, i will have improved this skill.

Hey isa! Don't feel bad.. It took me a while too. I guess after reading the book we also become better readers given the practice it gives us!.. But I still agree with Nate, Roa Bastos lacked and editor!! keep it up and you'll see that it gets easier the more you read.
