The Black Hand by Chris Blatchford (2009, Paperback)

well at first, i didnt want to read anything bout the mexican mafia but then my daughter whose boyfriend at the time was reading it,was saying how well the book was and interesting so i asked to see it and i read the first few pages and she was right it is interesting!! in fact u have to keep reading it just to know what happens to this guy that was a big part of that gang or whatever they consider themselves to be nowadays! but in reading it i always came back to wondering why and how would anyone do this without getting caught in an everyday way! u know just from the things that happened! i dont know im only going by what is in the book itself so i wouldnt really know all the specifics! but the way he describes everything is pretty much gory and frightening! how those guys in prison can ever do that thing called keystering with weapons is beyond belief and the fact that anyone of them never died from it is only a true testament to an angel was watching over them! i cannot believe that they do all that to just survive and it all just makes a person want the prison system to be very regulated in other ways to prevent all that but i guess it isnt in many of those circumstances!! overall this is a very good read in spite of the fact that it is about this gang's way of life! i give it a 4 star rating of a read!!!!! im glad i read it !
