“No person can make you feel inferior in this world unless you let them.” This book shocked me. Going into it, I knew nothing about the prison system in Bolivia and the fact that prisoners have to rent the space if they want to sleep in a cell disturbed me. Adding to that, I could not believe that the whole family might move into the prison as well. I honestly expected to rate this book five stars after the first few chapters. I was in constant disbelieve because the entire story was so heartbreaking. However, I couldn’t connect with the characters at all. Francisco seemed untouchable and there was not a lot of character development. Also, they story seemed to drag and it took quite some time until the plot moved forward. Everything towards the end seemed rushed and I wanted the pace to pick up much earlier. However, it was an eye-opening book and I’m planning to read more about Bolivia.
