This book disturbed me in a "you should read it" way. It was so gripping and I really felt for the characters. It's hard for me to determine how much truth there is to it since I'm not well versed in illegal immigration, but I am leaning towards "it's probably on the true side". It really lends itself to some great discussions.
I was very disappointed with the abrupt ending. It was kind of wierd the way he ended it, and I got no closure. And I really needed the closure!!
It didn't leave me with a good feeling, but I couldn't put it down....that says something.

This was one of those books I couldn't put down, because I "just had to find out" how it would end. A very well written interesting book, I really enjoyed it.

This book was very good, I really enjoyed it. It had wonderful descriptions of all the places he'd been and things he'd experienced, with the personal side of it all. I laughed,cried,was shocked a little and learned a lot about the world, and "making pictures" too. Very well done.

At first I thought I wouldn't be into this book, given the subject matter. But I started it anyway, and after 3 pages I couldn't put it down. It was amazing, she wrote it in the childs voice, in a childlike language, it really transported you. A fantastic book.
