"I've just started reading this, but I'm not as thrilled with it as I thought I would be. Lots of people told me this book was fantastic and it's won awards and was named Book of the Year by all these papers. Anyway, it's a bit slow and the voice is a bit pretentious, precious for me. Am I gaining insight to the Mexican American experience though? Yes. I'm hoping to really get into it as I go along."
"Interesting to read about the history of San Antonio, but one of the hardest books to finish reading. Read for Church book club and was a literacy book to read in San Antonio."
