Looking for an escape from childhood abuse, Reymundo Sanchez turned away from school and baseball to drugs, alcohol, and then sex and was left to fend for himself before age 14. The Latin Kings, one of the largest and most notorious street gangs in America, became his refuge and his world, but its violence cost him friends, freedom, self-respect, and nearly his life. This is a raw and powerful odyssey through the ranks of the new Mafia, where the only people more dangerous than rival gangs are members of your own gang, who in one breath will say they'll die for you and in the next will order your assassination.

Contains mature themes.

As already stated in other reviews the content is interesting but the narration is subpar. Why not get a fluent, native Spanish bilingual to read this? I didn't think it would distract or bother me as much but honestly, it would have. ade listening to this better.

Good content, cringy narration

As a Chicago resident who grew up in the hood it’s a very elaborate tale of what gang life is truly like.

Amazing tale

You can’t fake language. Poor decision in choosing this narrator. Not his fault but a native Spanish speaker should have been asked to narrate.

Great story but….

The book itself was good but as a Spanish speaker having heard other audiobooks read by Spanish speakers I wonder why that didn’t have a more fluent Spanish speaker narrate this book even if it’s in English the portions in Spanish should be read correctly

Good book so so narration

Great story telling by the author although the narrator does him no justice. The book is read by Rudy Sanda and his attempts to speak Spanish are as bad as his cringe-worthy Latino gangster accents he reads throughout the book. Every time he did an accent or says “Amor de Rey” would literally annoy me. He even gave an ER Doctor a cholo accent. Narrator reads gang shootouts and killings like he’s reading some kid a bedtime story. Other than the narrator, it’s a good read. Hopefully the next book has a better narrator.

The narrator is awful.
