I've lived near or on the border for fifty years, but closer to the border town of Juarez. I've been across the border at most of the towns in New Mexico and Arizona. Over the years, I have met, worked with, supervised, and talked with people who came undocumented from various places in Mexico, and have traveled in Mexico several times. I've only been to Tijuana once or twice, so can't testify to anything there. However, I believe that border towns are fairly similar as regards the lives of poor people. The book accurately describes those lives, as far as I am able to know.The book is a series of vignettes of people/places experienced by the author. The only thing I would have wanted is a little history of life along the border situated at the beginning of the book, to provide some background. Other than that, no complaints at all, and plenty of kudos to the author. This is definitely a book worth reading, if you want to know how some people live. It's sad, but enlightening.

Every US citizen needs to read this book. Any meaningful discussion of immigration and/or the relationship between the USA and Mexico (and other Central American countries) must be put in the context of the human face it wears. This book does that. I firmly believe in the law, but we must not lose our humanity. Urrea knows how to paint a picture with words. Less is more in his story-telling. I thank him for this book. I've read several books in an effort to better understand our neighbor Mexico and what is happening at our southern border. This book taught me more than several other books combined.

This is a heart wrenching book that attempts to describe what it's like to be one of the poorest of the poor in the world. The author outstandingly introduces to people, some of whom are his close friends, who live in an entirely different world and yet have the same desires and dreams as we although they are often too discouraged to dream them.The author, a reasonably intelligent man with a good education and experience, is also wise enough to know that there are no easy remedies to the poverty that afflicts the people in his book and so many others.The saddest part of the book is actually in Urrea's follow-up book, "By the Lake of Sleeping Children". In it, he describes how people have contacted him about the region seeking to do research, write articles or event o a television show. "Very few," he wrote, "want to send money." Sending money is not the solution to poverty, but writing a check is the easiest thing to do to temporarily alleviate some of their suffering. So go and have a good cry. Then, after you get down on your knees and thank God for the blessings you have, consider putting your compassion into action.

I was able to get a glimpse of the challenging life across the border from San Diego, along with several personalities. My life has taken n a new perspective.

Urrea follows the families of those that remain on the Mexican side of the border. Urrea is born from an American father and a Mexican mother. He was born in Tijuana but raised in San Diego. Although Urrea spent a significant amount of time during his childhood, he never saw the true hardship of the people living there. From the years 1978-1982, Urrea volunteered under the leadership of missionary Pastor Von, and then truly experienced the poverty and suffering of Tijuana, especially the families that were unable to make it across the border to the coveted San Diego. Urrea's stories follow those looking for opportunity and a chance at wealth. The book covers accounts of corruption and cruelty within the police, gringo tourists, glue-sniffing children, and the Mexicans that live through the poverty. Throughout the book, Urrea's elaborate descriptions are often vivid and vulgar, but the book shines light on the horrific society that the Mexican's had to live through. While most of the stories are of hardship, there are a few moments in the book where Urrea finds humanity in a chaotic society. Urrea has a unique recognition of kindness that brings a soft element to this sometimes difficult to read book.From the book I learned how difficult life could be when you are born into certain circumstances. The horrible stories of Tijuana are beyond anything I had ever imagined before. Also, I did not realize the extent to which police take advantage of the people of Tijuana. Not only do the police ask for money from the people they pull over, but they also ask women for inappropriate favors to get out of tickets.I didn't like how vulgar some parts of the book were. Sometimes, the book was difficult to read. "He pantomimed laying a penis clearly nineteen inches long across the steering wheel. "I tell them, `Suck on this and you can go.' And you know what? Gringas are sluts--they always suck my lariat'" (121).Overall, I recommend this book to people who have no idea about the processes of illegal immigration, living on the border, or are interested in the hardships of life in Tijuana. The book shows the undercover side of what truly happens when the United States is an untouchable dream. If you cannot handle grotesque descriptions, then this book is not for you, but the descriptive accounts truly put the reader in Tijuana and gives reader an experience of what life is like.

Luis Urrea is an excellent writer with Hispanic roots. He makes you feel the plight of the poor Hispanics who live and die along the Mexican border. Anyone who has an opinion about illegal immigrants, pro or con, should read this book. Urrea is not talking about politics here. These are real people with real poverty and real suffering. It's a world of suffering that we choose not to see. Read it here -- and see.

Heartbreaking and inspiring. In light of the way undocumented immigrants are portrayed at the highest levels of government these days, this book will open your mind and hopefully melt your heart.

I've lived in Mexico and have seen poverty. I am a cynic. Nothing prepared me for what I read. If you can read this and remain unmoved, you are a lot tougher than I am. I had to stop a few times because I felt ill and wasn't certain I could finish. The author is a brilliant narrator.
