      I dislike this book at the same time I liked it. It was hard to understand due to the use of Spanish. However, I like that the author did this, making this book more appealing to students who speak Spanish as their first language or possibly appealing to a teacher for use in a classroom. I think it would be a good discussion book, however, I think it would be a hard book to sell to to students because of its length and the possible Spanish challenge. It does deal with the issue of drungs, death and war.I think the author did a very good job of portraying life as a Mexican American during the 1960s. The story seem believable even while it was overly tragic.pendejos = jerksQuotesp. 42 Fathers new a lot of things, I wondered why fathers kept so many secrets from their sons.
