"I was living a little bit of this story in real time, because the film came out while I was living on the border, reporting on drug trafficking in Northern Mexico for the Associated Press. (I was also dating the journalist consultant to the film, a reporter for the New York Times.) The filmmakers got it right. They captured the resignation that countless families caught in the narco racket feel: plata o plomo. Benicio del Toro is magnificent as a doomed local cop, and his performance is as understated and sure-footed as anything I’ve ever seen him in since."

Poignant and heart breaking reveals about flawed and disturbed characters (0 more)
Mind warping and brilliantly twisted
Given that the main character in this novel is a boy in a coma it is surprisingly fast paced. The characters are complex and the mystery around Louis condition deepens as each page us turned.
Liz Jensen really explores the limits life, family and indeed our own thoughts put on us and our families, explores the human capacity for warmth and destruction whole painting a very clear grey picture - not everything is good or bad, life is often somewhere in between.
