I too found this a good story but also want to warn potential readers that there is a great deal of Spanish and Spanish slang in the text. There are few translations and unless you know the language, this is will be extremely frustrating to you as a reader. I know it was to me. This has to be one of the most annoying things for a reader, as you know you are missing a lot of the meaning the author wants to convey.
