Armored was an AWESOME ride!!! By telling a story as only as S.W. Frank can do, the Diaz-Giacanti family's friends and foes are revealed. Love is stronger than ever. Lies and deceit are plentiful. And were there surprises? You bet. Numerous plots and take-downs were revealed. There were so many twist and turns; secrets and revelations that you are kept at the edge of your seat. Who to believe? Who is a Don to trust?As always, S.W. uses words and phrases that are so profound and noteworthy, that the reader cannot help but fasten their seat belt and settle in for the ride. And I am a S.W. Frank and Alfonzo's "ride or die chica" (I know the journey has to end, but I don't want it to). My Alfonzo went back to his roots and showed why he is the "Don."Whatever Ms. Frank writes, I will proudly read! Her books have characters that speak TO the reader and not at them. The situations and scenarios that each character endures are lessons that teach history, language and an undeniable ability to touch the spirit. The reader comes away with a valuable lesson and you may wonder if it was written for the character or for you.Armored tied everything together in a nice Christmas package for the reader. The past and the present. Young and old. I will DEARLY miss my "Fonzie Pooh" and his "killer swag; [his] mesmerizing stroll." But, I respect the need to move forward with new books and ideas. HBO- here comes Alfonzo!!!! I look forward to the next generation of the Diaz-Giacanti's, as well as, WHATEVER Ms. S.W. Frank writes!
