review 1: I picked this up at the library because that cover caught my eye. I decided to check it out after seeing it was a collection of short stories, thinking maybe that would hold my interest longer than a novel. And it did, oh how it did! The writing in this book is magical & raw, at times shocking & sad. I absolutely loved it, even the parts I felt I hated because of the subject. It stirred something inside of me over & over. This is the first book I have read on 2013 & I feel like it has set a foundation for a year of literary discoveries I'm well over-due for.
review 2: Wonderful collection of short stories. Orozco has a wonderful subtlety. He doesn't force feed the reader, but each story left me feeling invaded (in a good way)...I couldn't shake some of these ch... morearacters and scenes. I probably would have enjoyed these even more if I had stumbled upon them individually or forced myself to read one a month, but I couldn't resist eating them all up at once. Great stuff. less
