The Circuit and the sequel to that book, Breaking Through, by Fransisco Jimenez was a very good book. This book and sequel is basically about a poor family who immigrates to the Unites States from Mexico illegally so they can make a better life and try to get out of poverty. The Circuit is about the childhood of all the kids and the sequel Breaking Through is about the family trying to overcome what they go through while living their new life in America.
I really liked reading these books a lot because I like reading stories about immigration and I liked the way the author describes every moment of the story. It really helps me understand. I got really into this story because it was so good and getting into depth of someone's life was pretty cool. It was really shocking how this actually happened like how they immigrated illegally and they did succeed.
One of the main characters in this story is Fransisco Jimenez. Fransisco is the second oldest child before Roberto, his brother Fransisco is a very good student, good son, and person. Fransisco is intelligent, generous, and caring. He is always trying to find a way to help his parents out. He always puts himself after his family. He is always trying to find a way to help his parents out. He is also the author of the story which is basically a memoir of his life. Besides being an intelligent, caring, and generous person he is a great writer.
I would recommend for people to read this book because it is pretty good. The way the author describes his life makes you see immigration different. Well at least that is what it did for me. Some people might think immigration is bad or whatever they think of it. This story really makes you see how the family came here and how people treated them. It's very good and I recommended it.
Overall this was a great book. Normally reading doesn't interest me so much but this book really changed that. It really opened my mind to reading other books and I learned a lot about immigration and what some people actually have to go through to get a so called better life because in their countries they don't have the opportunities America has. I learned a lot about the Mexican culture which I am Mexican but I learned stuff I did not know about my culture. I really enjoyed reading this book and I learned a lot.
