Title: I'm perplexed
Review: I'm honestly perplexed as to how people enjoyed this book (nothing against them, I read the reviews online before I started and was excited to read this book).As other reviewers said, it's very annoying how the narrative stops every few chapters so that the main character can talk to the Spanish. I also feel Jennigs uses these interupttions to show how much of a difference there was between Spanish and Aztec culture. Hey Jennings - NO KIDDING. He was pushing the blatently obvious every few chapters making you feel like an idiot.Another bad part was that it was hard to follow. The name of the main character changed every few paragraphs, it seemed.Secondly, the entire book had no direction whatsoever. He randomly started doing things for no reason. I wanted to read a story, no some schmuck's life story!If you haven't read historical fiction and want to kick it off with an epic, I would suggest Keith Follett's Pillars of the Earth.
