Story
Meet Jim Carrey. Sure, he's an insanely successful and beloved movie star drowning in wealth and privilege — but he's also lonely. Maybe past his prime. Maybe even...getting fat? He's tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor, and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage isn't enough to pull Carrey out of his slump.

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..

Story
Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. When Lydia’s husband’s tell-all profile of Javier, the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city, is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

I don't understand the criticism! Fantastic Book!
Reviewed: 02-06-20
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.
