Struggle to find meaning

This book was filled with a lot of twist and turns but something I found really intresting. I love the setting and all the history when it came to reading this story. When I was reading it, at points I would envision myself as the characters and seeing all the struggle he was going through. The story really did come to life. The only problem with this book was how some of the things I didn't understand because some of it was in Spanish but overall I found a lot of meaning from the characters and how he was trying to find himself. This book really did remind me of another book I read called Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Ryan and how the character struggle about finding herself through family. This book really did catch my attention compare to how at the beginning before even reading this book, I had no understanding on what it was even about.

over all the book was in excellent condition and it came on time. All of the information about the books' condition and price were there.
