I wish I had the words to properly review this book in the way it deserves. I didn’t know much about Danny Trejo besides Trejo’s Tacos and him being Machete from Spy Kids, so reading this all was a huge eye opener. This memoir is honest and so well-written, and Trejo does a fantastic job of explaining his life and situations while also calling himself out. This memoir is definitely one of the best ones I’ve read.

This one really surprised me! Downloaded from the library on a whim and was fascinated by it. Trejo has lived an incredible life. Parts of this were hard to read, mainly before he got clean, but the hope that he came out of a very difficult life from is just beautiful.
