a 3 1/2. I actually liked the story, but did not like the speech of the teens ("Imma" for I am, etc.). Since I don't speak Spanish, some of the dialogue went over my head (although it was mostly explained in the answers given). While I was reading it, I though about how it could be done as a movie (odd, as I do not go to movies at all). Was not ready to like it at first, but then the plot and characters grew on me.

I LOVED this book. I love the culture, I love the language, I love the way the book sounds. It's full of the magic of storytelling as well as the power of history and family. The audiobook was intoxicating, and I may listen again when I get the time! Definitely a new favorite.
