Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "Mexico: Stories," by Josh Barkan. This book was published on January 24, 2017 by Hogarth: The Crown Publishing Group. This book is hot off the press so for those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. To read an excerpt from this book CLICK HERE. Josh Barkan is an experienced author whom his novels are based off of his experiences in living abroad in foreign countries and are shaped by his interests in politics, history and literature. He also is the author of the book "Blind Speed."
Overall I rated this book three and a half stars out of five. This book was a collection of twelve different stories taken place in Mexico (hence the title). In each of these stories crime and the Mexican drug cartel is the common thread tying these stories together. This was a well written book. Each story was similar yet unique. The stories were told in a way it brought humanity and culture together. Human pain and strength bonded these stories together. I will let you choose which is your favorite story. Mine is "The Prison Breakout."
I want to thank Netgalley, Josh Barkan, and Hogarth: Crown Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Until the next page,
Jill
