I liked this book, but not so much as a "novel", more as an "exercise". The different interviews were quite plainly written (or translated) so there wasn't much to be impressed about with the writing.
However, I liked the idea of seeing many different sides of a series of events reminding us that history is not truth, it's always a point of view, regardless of the sincerity of the historian. Our hero - which I think of as the historian - confessed a bias at the end showing that even an outsider could not remain totally objective.
I was left not believing anyone in particular throughout the interviews. I doubted that the protagonist's great quest for truth was going to yield the results intended. But that's what I liked about the story.
