This novel captures its readers with its short chapters and easy read, you keep telling yourself that its just another page, two pages, five pages and then you're up so late you know you'll be tired tomorrow. Beyond that it somehow gets into your head and you will find yourself thinking about it when you aren't able to read it. It will make you angry and it will make you sad and like any good story you will root for your favorite characters while praying for the demise of others. The downside, as I presume it was self published, are the blatantly obvious spelling and grammatical errors some of which bring you to a full stop so that you can fill in the missing words or eliminate a word to make a phrase make sense. All in all Mateguas and it's sequel captured hours of my time and entertained me better than TV; I cannot wait for the third instalment. ( )
