Captain Pantoja and the Special Service - film and book


as far as I know this is the only book with same humor written by Vargas Llosa. 
I read it. 
I also read half of The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros, literally The City and the Dogs) where there is nothing to lough... he won a nobel for this book and if one is interested in education and military discipline might need to read this other book...
