Friends, I feel like I've been striking out on books lately. I appreciate the messages behind this book and the ultimate goal of what the author was trying to achieve, I just couldn't get into the voice. Hector's voice felt robotic for me for most of the novel, and I just wanted a little more emotion behind it. He was angry for a lot of the book, I just didn't really feel it.

This is very much a character driven story, and usually I like those, but I couldn't get into this one. It's a quick read and an important read, just not one of my favorites.
