Query: The hero of South America.

I have to agree with some of the previous reviewers. This book is written in a novel conversational format and includes a history of the Liberator. However, it dwells on the personal aspects of Bolivar, such as his sexual relations with his many women. This was emphasized over that of the many battles Bolivar fought in. After over 200 years, the battles and the ejection of Spain from the continent is perhaps more history than how many women Bolivar slept with.I am not sure I got a better idea of how Simon Bolivar was with this book. It could have better written and focused more on the history this great man accomplished. For young boys interested in history, this book may have some appeal. However for the serious historian, they should look elsewhere for readings on the Great Liberator.
