Wow. I sure learned more then I really wanted to know about the drug smuggling trade. This book, Cartel Wives, was written by the wives of two members of the cartel that brought down El Chapo. It was an intriguing read I will say that much. I have very mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, these women were brave to even write this book. But on the other hand, they do seem to attempt to justify an awful lot.
To be honest, it got a bit tedious after awhile. You'd think a book on this subject matter would be, at the very least, unputdownable but it wasn't. That doesn't mean I regret reading it.
I really got a look into this subculture and was a little freaked out at some of it. While not my favorite book, it is interesting and for fans of non fiction, it maybe appealing. I also read this while on vacation so I really did not give it as much time and thought as I would have, had I been in other circumstances when I read it.
I would still give it a solid 3 rating but it's a tough read
