suebrownreads's review against another edition
3.0
It is obvious that this book was meticulously researched, but there was just too much detail, and too many names to keep up with. I highly recommend it to those who want a detailed study of the subject, but maybe too much detail for the casual reader? I listened to the audio, and the reader was lacking. There was little emotion, and when she read quotes (and there are many of them,) it was in a slightly deeper voice that was devoid of the feeling needed to give the quote the necessary impact.

Bad Mexicans was a great book. Had a narrative non-fiction feel. I look forward to what this author can do in the future.

This is the first nonfiction book I’ve read in a long while what kept me super engaged and actively wanting to pick it up. This book was so well done. It was told as a narrative, but through layers and lenses so that the reader could follow the chronological storyline from multiple, relevant facets. I love history, but it’s so easy to get the writing of history wrong. The Mexican Revolution is so important, yet not often taught well to the point where white Americans know next to nothing about it. This book is a good place to start.

This book provided history that I didn't know that happened. It was a very intriguing story.

The audiobook narrator is misprouncing names to the point that I cannot follow. Will try again with the book.
