5.0 out of 5 stars The Border is True Life!, February 24, 2001

Benny Hand (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Playing a Spanish Number (Print on Demand (Paperback))

I read this book twice before I understood its true meaning: Life is short and Life is shorter when you live along the Texas-Mexico border. What an opalescent jewel this book turned out to be! I am still haunted by many of the local scenes and, frankly, feel like I've been hungover since I finished it. This guy has written about the Border like no other writer! I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a spark in Life, for college professors seeking insight from their students, for women who believe men will be different in the New Millennium. I gave my copy to my mother-in-law and she won't put it down! That's high praise....

5.0 out of 5 stars Tripping The Light Fantastic: A Winner!, March 27, 2001

If you read this book while listening to anything by Jimi Hendrix you will be propelled into a state of mind not unlike the best Life has to offer. I bought tis book at the behest of a friend and it was all it was promised to be. Whoever reads anything but greatness in this book has to be an envious writer whose work can't keep him busy. I say buy this book and return to the Days of Yesteryear, to a time when an evening at a cantina meant bullets flying in from all directions and husbands storming in to haul their errant wives home. I was on the tough Mexican border for two days while reaidng this book. Buy it.

The world is full of stories that go nowhere. This one takes readers on a ride and then some. It is a modern-day adventure any man would love to see land at his feet. Characters Patrick Alcatraz, Ben Barcelo and Ray Palafox are The Three Amigos with Cojones. This book is going places. Buy it, says this satisfied customer!
