A very brutal coming of age tale. It was a little too much for me at times, but many of of students love it.

Autobiographies my favorite genre, I love hearing stories of other people's lives, especially from times I wasn't able to experience. Stories from the 70's are so interesting to me, and getting a new perspective on it was eye-opening. Most stories I have heard have been from white people, getting to see how a Mexican lived during this time was a change and I'm glad I was able to read about it. Last few chapters lacked detail and character explanation which made me a little mad, but the rest of the book is beautifully written and sucked me (in).
