Review: Ah - a realistic picture of the Mexico I know and (don't) love
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 11, 2013
I have lived in 2 border states (Arizona and New Mexico) for the last 40+ years and this is, unfortunately, a too accurate description of what Mexico has become. I used to go there and now my family and visitors don't anymore. For that reason I am going with 4 stars. Assassin books have become common, especially 'super' assassins and are not really my preferred reading, but this is very well written.I now live further away from the border although still in a border state, but my home town, since becoming a "sanctuary" city (whatever that really means) has been escalating in crime and before they succumbed to a concealed carry rule our small city had 13 homicides (you can check the stats on City-Data, so don't just take my word).The gangs are in the border states now and some are cartel run or affiliated.This book is a scary prequel to what is staring to happen in America - read this book and be warned!!!
