Historia
When Victor Villaseñor stood at the podium and looked at the group of teachers amassed before him, he became enraged. He had never spoken in public before. His mind was flooded with childhood memories filled with humiliation, misunderstanding, and abuse at the hands of his teachers. With his heart pounding, he began to speak of these incidents. To his disbelief, the teachers before him responded to his embittered recollection with a standing ovation. Many could not contain their own tears.

A Heartbreaking and Inspirational Journey
Revisado: 02-07-25
Victor Villaseñor’s Burro Genius is a masterpiece of memoir writing that delves into the author’s tumultuous childhood, struggles with dyslexia, and journey to self-acceptance and success. From the very first page, Villaseñor’s vivid storytelling pulls you into his world, which is filled with pain, beauty, hardship, and triumph.
The book is a deeply personal account of Villaseñor’s early years, growing up as a Mexican-American in a predominantly white school system that failed to understand or support him. His struggles with dyslexia, which went undiagnosed for years, are portrayed with such raw emotion that you can’t help but feel his frustration, anger, and eventual determination to overcome the odds. Villaseñor’s resilience is nothing short of inspiring.
What makes Burro Genius exceptional is Villaseñor’s ability to weave together the personal and the universal. His story is not just about one boy’s struggle; it’s about the power of family, culture, and education. It’s about the importance of believing in oneself, even when the world seems to be against you. Villaseñor’s love for his family, particularly his mother and father, shines through every page, adding a layer of warmth and humanity to the narrative.
The writing is lyrical and poetic, filled with rich descriptions and heartfelt reflections. Villaseñor’s voice is authentic and unflinching, making the reader feel like they are right there with him, experiencing every high and low. The book is both heartbreaking and uplifting, a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
In conclusion, Burro Genius is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt different or struggled to find their place in the world. It’s a story of perseverance, love, and an unbreakable family bond. Victor Villaseñor has given us a gift with this memoir, and it will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

Captivating Storyline
Revisado: 02-06-25
Brid Cummings’ The Teachers Lie is a compelling and original story set in a remote Australian school, centered around a woman teacher whose life takes a dramatic turn as secrets unravel. The setting is vividly described, immersing the reader in the isolation and atmosphere of the outback, which adds a unique layer to the story. The plot is well-paced, with enough twists to keep you engaged. Cummings’ strong writing and her ability to create tension and emotional depth make the characters’ struggles feel real and relatable.
The audiobook narration enhances the experience, with the narrator’s accent perfectly fitting the story’s Australian setting. Their delivery authenticates the characters, particularly the protagonist, making the listening experience enjoyable. The Teachers Lie is a solid and engaging novel, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys atmospheric, character-driven mysteries.

Compelling storyline

I enjoyed both the three story line and the delivery. Although, some of the accents seemed forced.
