Book Reviews of Across the Wire: Life and Hard Times on the Mexican Border
Book Review: From the moment you see the first word, you'll be tugged
Summary: 5 Stars
You'll be tugged into a fascinating world that cannot be as close as it is, cannot be as dire as it is nor cannot be as tender as it is. But it is. And each word you read will tug you to stand up and DO something about it, shout out in frustration at the unfortunate happenings of people you will grow to care about as much as the author does.
The beauty of it all is that the author never sentimentalizes or forces it at you. He just says it as he sees it. And he has a beautiful set of eyes.
