I loved the book. It's a on-the-road story of a small group of Mexican friends from a small town sneaking into the United States and the people they meet along the way. The characters are all a bit off-the-wall yet believable. Their goal of recruiting 7 soldiers to bring back to save their pueblo is noble yet preposterous. The book is funny, but also provides an education on illegal immigration from Mexico. Great book. Easy read. Fun.
