Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico's Most Dangerous Drug Cartel by Dan Slater

5.0

What an amazing book. It hits home, not because of the violence or the drugs, but because of growing up in the forever impoverished Rio Grande Valley. I grew accustomed to young kids turning to a life of crime to get paid and gain respect. It's a life that eventually leads to nothing. Dan Slater does an amazing job of describing in detail what happens to those who lead a life wrapped up with cartels. It's well-written and just an overall great book. At times, it is tough to read since many of the violent murders are too descriptive. However, the description is necessary so readers can truly see into the world of cartels and how violent it all can be. I recommend this book to anybody who wishes to learn more about the root of Mexico's problems.
