Summary: Story full of adventures one after another.
Review: This book takes you back in time to the era of Pancho Villa and Pachucos. Its a great way for Mexican Americans to find about their history and the past. Its mainly about the struggle a boy goes through to fit in with the prejudice "Anglos"but he does not want to forget his Mexican roots . Also another major conflict his father's manhood and Machismo. It always got in the way of things and had a drastic affect on him.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a good book because many people can relate to the story in one way or another. The book shows the struggles that not just Mexican American people, but all other people who have been born in the U.S. by immigrant parents,have been through. Being Mexican American seems like it's always harder just as Richard witnessed as he was growing up. The reason I feel this is true is because if one is mixed with American they have to please the Americans as well as their family backrground. This is why Richard believed that he was American as he was growing up, but he wouldn't discriminate any other ethnic background. All this changed when he was older becasue he started noticing the discrimination against him and his people because now he was associating himself as Mexican.
