An interesting and thought-provoking analysis of Brazilian culture and history. I read it a few months before moving to Brazil and would be interested to reread it after a couple years of living here, or to read it with a Brazilian to hear their take on his analysis.

Some mature content that may not be appropriate for younger readers. Plus, the sociological nature of the book may be a barrier to them, despite the author's engaging writing style.
