In Chapter 1 I really enoyed the characterization that Victor Martinez used. After reading just a few short pages I felt like I already knew a lot about Manny and Nardo (the main characters), and that I had been reading about them for a long time. It's easy to understand what kind of character the author is trying to create and this fact enhances the reading.
I also like the setting and time period. Mexican immigrants is not really something I have read a lot about before and this makes it even more interesting and inticing. Their perspective in the United States is a lot different than ours and it's worthwhile to get their viewpoint and see both sides of the story.
The first chapter has me excited to read the rest of the book and learn more about Manny and Nardo.
