Review: Sad and poetic, in a good way Review: Ich habe das geliebt. Dies ist ein gut geschriebenes Buch eine sensible Autor. - Dieses Buch wurde von unserem "Führer" in einem Buchclub vorgeschlagen. Die Mutter des Autors, eine Rangerin des US-Nationalparks, war ein herausragender Charakter. Sie unterrichtete ihren Sohn über Geographie, Wetter, Tiere und Pflanzen in der Gegend um den Rio Grande an der US-Grenze neben Mexiko. Diese Beschreibungen sind wunderbar. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es in dieser Gegend verzweifelt arme Menschen, Drogenschmuggler, die Intimadation und Gewalt anwenden. Obwohl ich die illegale Einwanderung nicht für gut halte, habe ich das Gefühl, endlich die Geschichte der illegalen Einwanderung zu verstehen. This book was suggested by our "leader" at a book club. The author's mother, a US National Park ranger, was an outstanding character. She taught her son about the geography, weather, animals & plants of the area around the Rio Grande River on the US border next to Mexico. These descriptions are wonderful. On the other hand, this area has desperately poor people, drug smugglers who use intimadation & violence. While I do not think illegal immigration is good, I feel I finally understand the illegal immigrant's story. ## Features - Paperback - Language: English - Author: Cantú, Francisco - Number of Pages: 288 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 661 Reviews | ## Images ![The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NFQiTHN4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sad and poetic, in a good way *by K***E on 4 December 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ich habe das geliebt.
