Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter's Journey Through a Country's Descent into Darkness by Alfredo Corchado

2.0

This book is my first foray into a look at Mexican politics and I thought it would be interesting to look at it from a more "thrilling" perspective. If I read this book as completely verbatim, there is no way I would let anyone travel to Mexico and I'm surprised that the author is still alive. He seemed to not take threats seriously and then way too seriously. I chalk the flow of the book (which I found to be uneven) to his life of journalism. The book was suddenly sensational, and then dry, and then riveting!! and then political. I'm not even sure I would recommend it to someone but I did find it interesting. Meh?
