Being that it was coming from Luis Alberto Urrea of The Hummingbird's Daughter, I assumed it was historical fiction. It was not. On the first Youtube mention I kind of groaned. I also assumed from how good THD was that this would be good. It was not. The dialogue was all sentence fragments and non sequitur ramblings. There was very little character development, to the point where I didn't really know why the characters did anything they did. It was an interesting premise, but execution was ultimately pretty poor. I'll be skipping any of Urrea's future contemporary novels and will stick with his HF.
