Zapatista is faithfully based on the facts of the 1994 Chiapas Indian uprising in southern Mexico. Whether you are looking for adventure or a deeper glimpse into the real drama of a people's revolution, Zapatista draws you into the middle of all the struggles, glory, and grit through one man's unexpected participation in survival.

Nonstop adventure on the search for love and meaning
Revisado: 09-07-24
This is a really fun adventure story. I knew little to nothing about the Zapatista rebels before reading this book. Even within the context of a work of fiction, I feel I understand better who they were and what their struggle was about. It is an interesting juxtaposition between the Zapatistas themselves in this story, who seem incredibly realistic, almost photographically so, and the other characters and story elements which are more fantastic in their portrayal. The protagonist of this story and his chaotic search for purpose is one I think anyone who grew up a fan of Hollywood would relate to. Quips and one liners abound, you can almost hear the smirk! The pace is brisk throughout. My favorite facet of this novel is that it is wonderfully, vividly descriptive. This book is like a character from Suits blundered into the set and script of a Dwayne Johnson jungle adventure which was being filmed in deep cover by a Vice documentary crew embedded in a war zone. It’s nuts!

Beautifully written. Vivid imagery and thorough world building. Unique concepts and classic symbolism. Never a dull moment and I never knew exan enthralling story beginning to end.

What if Jesus were a bro?
Revisado: 04-15-24
This is a really fun character development and exploration of moral concepts and personal goals and priorities. I enjoyed the vivid imagery of this story the most. The author is descriptive of characters, environment and events in a way which made for an immersive and visual listening experience. It is also entertaining to have the metaphysical in this story made so literally physical. There is a subplot related to sexuality and romance that I haven’t made sense of, but I’m still thinking it through. Any novel that doesn’t immediately disappear into the rear view after I’m finished with it is special in its own way.
