The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea
2.0
Reads like a textbook or like someone describing a math equation. Clinical!
I found The Devils Highway nearly impossible to slog through. Not to make light of the level of human suffering the author was attempting to expose but I found it repetitive and exasperating. The author felt it necessary to wallow in the details and belabor the point by taking each individual involved and describe their role in the account or suffering separately and in meticulous detail. I wanted to shout at the author “I got it already” now get on with the story or as my daughter in law is fond of saying “WTMI” (Way too much information)
