Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and Hollywood

Not the genre I usually go to, but this was recommended and I'm trying to be more open to different genres.
I am glad I gave it a try.
Right from the beginning I kept thinking “This reads too... I don't even know but it can't be real.” To the point I actually double checked to make sure it wasn't a fiction book. But in 2 days I was about 25% done. I don't have much time to read AND I read kinda slow.
After a few chapters I started having a hard time reading. It seemed like a lot was being repeated. Not that it was bad, just my ability to stay focused was being tested.
But then, things start to change and I couldn't seem to put the book down. Every chance I had I was reading.
In all honesty, his story fascinated me. I have soooo many thoughts on this book. I think the thing that hit me the most was the glimpse into the mind of the loved one who was a criminal and spent time in jail, the loved one lost to h. How it felt to be that person. And then the full circle of him finally understanding the mind and feels of the loved ones watching their child go through these things.
In short. Give it a read. It's worth it. His message is clear.
