hopeful fast-paced

This book sounded interesting but it did not end up being anything like I expected. Maybe some things were lost in translation? Essentially our main character, Miguel, becomes upset when his uncle chooses to abandon his family and live inside a Coca-Cola billboard he has converted into a small apartment. The book ends with the family disappearing because the housing community has ostracized them for the decisions that have made with respect to the billboard. This book didn’t make me feel sad, happy, anything at all! It’s been very interesting to read reviews where people had opposites reactions and loved the story. Huh?
