The intimate moments didn't seem so intimate in that there didn't seem to be a good connection between the parties. This debut novel was enjoyable in its exposition of the Mexican and Mayan people, their history and culture, although at times it verged on the pedantic. Lara's journey into the jungles and the final denouement of the plot had overtones of an adventure movie.
