"Crazyloco" book review

The book ”crazy loco” is is a great book relating stories that I can reflect on. The nine short stories in this collection are presented as personal reflections of Mexican-American kids growing up in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. The selections range from comedic remembrances of cousins visiting from California who must use the "booby-trapped" outhouse, to touching scenes of poverty and survival across the Mexican border. The author david rice writes from personal experience growing up in the small town of Edcouch, Texas. His stories represent a wide variety of ages. This book was an experiece that most of the time in regards of book reading, I don’t get the chance to have based on how I can relate to the stories presented here.
