I can never decide how I feel on the "is this true in spirit even if it isn't her completely true experience?" issue. It's kind of like reading the Bible--you have to be able to accept that truth, oddly enough, has a bit of gray to it. I was deeply affected by Menchu's tale, I will say that much. I simply wish she had thrown a disclaimer in there somewhere ("Okay, okay, not all of this happened to me, but be sure that everything in here happened to someone. The brutality is true, even if the details aren't"). Aside from that, it must be said that I found the writing less than extraordinary at points, but I still learned quite a bit.
