3.0

I liked the story of this book, but felt the narrative was bogged down by repetition. The spread of the Xalisco Boys was described in a number of chapters, with each one beginning with the same (long) description of how their heroin trafficking/dealing worked. I'm not sure if the author did it on purpose or not, but I think it made the book longer than it should have been and slowed the pace of the narrative. Despite that, I would still recommend the book because the story contained within is heartbreaking.
