If you like history, as I do, read this book.

This was a fantastic book about the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish. It makes you want to go back and see the beauty of the country of Mexico before it was destroyed by greed and war.

If you didn't know who cortez was you would think this is one of the most exciting adventure thrill rides you've ever read. I read the entire book in 3 days, couldn't put it down. It's been 2 years since I read it and I still think about this book more than any I have read since. If you like history and the feeling of being on the edge of your seat, get this book.
