review 1: This short story series is really well written and interesting, albeit some parts are a bit hard to understand. Personally, I think this book's audience should be at least 16+ because it contains contents that relates drug abuse, and other bad influences for young individual because the story lessen how terrible the actions of the main character is. But overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. It covers numerous issues and profound themes and I would definitely recommend people reading it.
review 2: My humble opinion is that Benjamin Alire Saenz is our greatest living writer. You may think that's overkill, but I do know that he never fails to entertain, enlighten, and make my world a little brighter. Whether it be his poetry, his young adult novels, or his ... moreadult novels, I am enthralled. And Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club fits right in. This book of short stories revolves around the themes of fathering, mothering, coming out, being happy, and ethnic identity. Each story has some reference to the Kentucky Club, a bar in Juarez, Mexico. (A thing I love about Ben is that his book titles are usually intriguing and poetic, often times leading one to believe something that is not meant. An example: Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood brings forth visions of movie town glitterati, while this beautiful novel, S&J in Hollywood, is set in a barrio called Hollywood in New Mexico.) The stories in Everything Begins and Ends are told with a flair for language that few authors can match, a depth of character that is amazing, and examininations of family relationships that are spot on and easy to relate to. This book is a magnificent achievement. It is no wonder that it is one of last year's major award winners. less
