Just no.. a few lines were insightful, the majority a bunch of bull crappola. Jeff Daniels is a pleasant enough reader. Just no.. don’t do it..

I don't understand the criticism! So, the author is not an immigrant. She has stated she did five years of research. This is a novel, not a memoir. While it does not have the poetic prose I usually crave in books the stories of the migrant's travels are believable and clear. The book is addictive and the characters both memorable and relatable. You grow to feel their pain, their love, their hope and yes their desperation. It will hopefully encourage better understanding and compassion for those migrants who make it to El Norte and into our communities. The criticism seems to be little more than just jealousy for the book's popularity and takes the form of internet bullying. For those who criticise, please suggest other reading on the subject. The reader (Yareli Arizmendi) is fantastic.
