A Book I'm Reading- Always Running

Today I read the other half of chapter one that I didn't get to read last time. Most of what I read today talked about the main character, which is Luis; and his family’s past.

 It talks about Luis's grandmother Ana, and how her first husband was a railroad worker during the Mexican Revolution; and her husband lost his life when a tunnel exploded during a raid. Later, his grandmother Ana married his grandfather named Monico Jimenez. When Luis's parents married, his mother was 27 and his dad was almost 40. His mother had never known any other man. His father already had 4 or 5 children from 3 or 4 other women. They left Mexico and so they moved to L.A, at the behest of his older sister. She was a half-sister, who was already married with 2 children of her own. His sister’s name is Seni, a named his father invented. Rumor has it, that it was an inversion of the name Ines, an old girlfriend of his. Seni was his father's daughter from one of his earlier relationship; her mother died giving birth to her.

So far, I think the book it alright. It's kind of boring in the beginning. But when you keep on reading it gets more interesting. What makes this book seem so interesting to me is that this book is not made up. It's based on the author’s life. The things in the book actually happened to him. When I read a book and it’s based on real life but didn't happen in real life, I think it’s a good book. But when it based on real life and you know that everything that happened in the book actually happened to that person it makes it so interesting and it make you think about the book more.
