Just as A brief history of seven killings and In the light of what we know, this is a masterpiece that I didn't really enjoy reading. It never trully gripped me, never took me by the balls or captured my heart. I mostly prefered and admired the more historian, cultural criticism-parts. More than the actual story. 
 So no Pulitzer deserving work selon moi, altough it is a very important work of faction and the writing is excellent.
