This book is just terrible. We started listening to the audiobook on a trip, and it was so bad we only got through the first disk. For some reason I listened to the rest of it, hoping it would get better, and it only got worse. The author is the reader on the audiobook, and the exaggerated tone of his voice shows his bias of his message: how we should all feel sorry for the poor Mexicans who are just trying to better themselves in this land where all available resources should be free to anyone who wants them. He contrasts their bad luck in achieving everything entitled to them with the wastefulness and unhappiness of an ordinary southern CA family. He makes the point that even the white people's pets have it better than the sorry Mexicans, and the justice is that the Mexicans start eating the pets. This is the stupidest book ever.
