The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail by Óscar Martínez
5.0
This is one of the most upsetting books I have read. Martinez details the treacherous journey many migrants make from the bottom of Mexico up the North.
The stories he relates, the people he meets, are truly searing and soul catching. More than once I had to put this book down and give myself a break as it was so honest, raw and unrelentingly brutal that I couldn't handle it.
For anyone remotely interested in the migrant trail, or in human rights, this should be a must read.
Incredible book and beautifully written.
