Description: Fine. Scribner 2008 SOFTCOVER. Prerelease version. From Starred Review. Readers get two stories for the of one in this witty and informative memoir. Journalist Arellano (íAsk a Mexican! ) chronicles the sweet-and-sour story of his family's assimilation into American culture, while also recounting a historical narrative at odds with the bucolic ideal of a place that's been mythologized for decades.

"LAME! Take it from me who LOVES all things Mexican AND reading about local history, this book is a way too drawn out. I forced myself to finish it. I'm selling this on amazon for 1 penny."
"A really good book that combines a history of one of the more bizarre counties in our country with a personal history of growing up in the county the child of Mexican immigrants."
"Orange County: A Personal History Authors: Gustavo Arellano 03/25/2009 8:21 AM
This is a great story combining the history of Orange County with a memoir of the author. Arellano is pretty well know in "the OC" for his weekly column "Ask a Mexican" and this book reflects his wit and wisdom as well. I really enjoyed it."
"Probably half of America has lived in Orange County at one time or another. Let Arellano catch you up to where OC is now and where it's going in his funny, satirical, irreverent personal story."
