review 1: I liked this book. A lot. It was set in basically my own backyard which made it a "fun" read, if you can call it that. Caputo definitely knows something of our border issues/problems, and as far as many of the characters are concerned, I've "met" quite a few of them since living in Arizona. However, I was very much disappointed in the ending. That said, it's still worth reading but I would have given it a higher star rating except for the conclusion that was not.
review 2: Stephen King recommended book. He said in Entertainment Weekly's column My Top 20 of 2011: "A New York financial whiz loses his wife in the 9/11 attacks and flees to Arizona to rethink his life. There he falls afoul of a Mexican drug queenpin named Yvonne Menéndez. The result is a mix of C... moreormac McCarthy, Ian McEwan, and John D. MacDonald. What I'll remember most clearly are the wrapped packages of high-powered cocaine stamped 'This Is Our War on the North Americans'." less
