After reading the first page of the book I was hooked. It was so eventful and i loved going on the journey that Lyn took me on. I’ve never read anything like Gringolandia, it’s sad to think that stuff like that really happens. Gringolandia is a real eye opener.
I found the characters to be real and also powerful. Daniel when through alot….it was sad, i mean right from the beginning, I don’t know what i would do without my father let alone try to pick up the pieces. You can tell he’s just trying to make the best of it and live a ‘normal” teenage life. But in the back of his mind that incident just changed everything. It’s so haunting to think about.As i kept reading sometimes i would take a little pause because some of the scenes were just painful to read, especially the ones about Marcelo. I wanted to just jump in the book and defend him.
Overall it was an awesome book.I couldn’t put it down. I’ve grown to love all of the characters and loved Daniels voice as the story was told. I look forward to more of Lyn’s books. I think everybody should read Gringolandia because it was soo amazing.
