First, the good stuff: [a:David Hernandez|383634|David Hernandez|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] packs a lot of powerful emotion per page in this novel, and his main character, Marcus, is a wonderful mix of reliable enough for me to trust him as a narrator, but imperfect enough to relate to. Also, this is one of those rare YA novels that I think would resonate with teenage boys, especially if they're Hispanic. Hernandez manages to honor the traits of a Hispanic family in the US without digressing into the preachy-ness that is so typical of "multicultural" children's books.Second, the not-so-good stuff: some of the plot felt kind of tacked-on for the sake of moving things forward instead of growing out of the story. The worst part of the book, no quotation marks. Trying to read a dialogue-heavy book without quotation marks=pain in the butt. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Excellent YA fodder; strong male Latino voice, great dialogue, good pacing. Adult language (lots of f bombs), sexual situations, drug use.. good for mature readers, esp. boys. ( )
