Loved it. Honest and real in a world of instagram smoke and mirrors

It’s a great and honest story of starting from the bottom and remembering that when you are on the top.

A new required reading

Revisado: 10-18-24

What an amazing book about Latinos in the US. I think this should be standard reading for all HS students in the US.

Andy’s writing is top notch so it was great to see if applied to such a classic character.

One of the best!

This is so much better than her last two Strike novels. It’s a return to the original trilogy.

The point when they all become adults

Revisado: 08-08-23

This is the best book of the series. It’s the point when all the main characters have that break that really pushes them to accept what it is to be an adult and be responsible for your choices. Such a phenomenal story.

Be Fantastic not a nematoad!

Revisado: 05-26-23

It’s no Terry Pratchett novel but Andy has written a management book that I actually want to put on my desk and reference regularly. The wisdom and anecdotes he imparts are useful and based on lived experience in the field, in this case in Tech. I’ve read my fair share of management books and they are good but they are case studies in bygone industries, 1% Leadership is relevant today.

What really struck me was how he worked in DE&I material that was beneficial, consumable, and relatable regardless of your self identified in and out groups.

This is one of those few books that I have a hardcopy and audible because listening to Andy tell his own story makes it even more enjoyable.

Must read especially for men

Revisado: 11-15-22

DV is a topic that remains taboo for so many in the US and the world at large and this book lays it all bare. I would easily say this is a must listen for anyone who grew up in a household were traditional gender norms were a thing and as a result toxic masculinity prevailed (as a latino this was my childhood). Rachel does an amazing job of making this listen compelling, informative, and eye opening all while keeping it accessible.

Best book of the year

Revisado: 10-13-22

Honestly this is a must listen. Matthew drops not stop wisdom in the most easy way to consume. I’m buying the print version.

Great book and great narration but...

Revisado: 11-15-21

So I loved the book just I love everything Shea puts out. If you are a hip-hop head you have to listen and buy the book for your coffee table. My only gripe was the narrator. I mean come on, how do mispronounced rapper names, Pharoh Monch should not be pronounced, MONK. Treach is not TREEEEch. Method Man's Tikal not TEEKILE. Other than that definitely worth every penny.
