All the Secrets of the World by Steve Almond

4.0

this book was wild! there were so many through lines and specific themes that tied to different points in the story. I really enjoyed the different perspectives of understanding both how one person is viewing what is happening to them currently and then zooming out to a greater understanding of the situation from a different character's perspective. there were interesting themes that I haven't read much about, including life on the Mexican-American border, inherently evil victims, prison life, and disparities in American socio economic lives. However, there were a lot of characters to keep track of and the story felt slow at times.
