4.0

Insurrecto is challenging, convoluted, and brilliant. You'd have to read this book many times in order to understand it fully, and even then, there would still be hidden details. I loved learning about the Philippine-American war through Apostol's writing, and if you're interested in history or complicated characters, definitely give this book a try!
