a modern tale of dante's inferno yet lyrical, but real This book is a must read for anyone who cares to understand Mexico's border life. Pieces of his stories will haunt you for days, months, or years. He writes in such a manner that innocently seeks your mind but in the end it will garner oh so much more. I only wish he could then tell us how the other side of Mexico lives or can live with such abject poverty (In Mexico, over 40 million out of 90 million live in poverty--17 million live in severe poverty, NAFTA, ye all shall be free..).
Very Unbelivable I am 15 years old and i enjoy books that shock me and are true. It makes me feel lucky to have a place to sleep. This book is great it makes you appreciate others in a way you never had before.
From the moment you see the first word, you'll be tugged You'll be tugged into a fascinating world that cannot be as close as it is, cannot be as dire as it is nor cannot be as tender as it is. But it is. And each word you read will tug you to stand up and DO something about it, shout out in frustration at the unfortunate happenings of people you will grow to care about as much as the author does.
The beauty of it all is that the author never sentimentalizes or forces it at you. He just says it as he sees it. And he has a beautiful set of eyes.
