A review by hecman111
The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea

3.0

3.5 stars. Another instance where it feels great to read characters you know and have seen in your own history. There is so much familiarity in Angels — the food, the drink, the love, the family — that it almost feels autobiographical yet there’s still enough “craziness” (<— is that the right word?) to keep you at a safe distance. The parrot story alone is worth it, but the rest is just as entertaining in its own way.
