Thank you - I really like books set in South America - stuff like The Dancer Upstairs (Nicholas Shakespear) and The War of Don Emanuel's Netherparts (Louis DeBerniere) - so in that sense it's similar - I also like the way they bring the history and superstitions of the continent into the modern day. Having said that I'm now reading Harry Potter!
