Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-10 00:00:00 Daniel Lozano This was a very thorough, interesting account of the author's encounter with a thief in Mexico City, one which very nearly ended his life. Reid writes for Texas Monthly and I had read bits and pieces of the tale before this, but the book was good in that it also talked about peripheral ideas surrounding that fateful night; what it means to be male in a situation such as his, whether his response was fool-hearty or brave, conquering fear, schooling oneself to separate the incident from the city itself and the citizens of Mexico City -- on and on. It was also a picture of boxing I had never seen before. The book made me wish I could meet the boxer whose match Reid was in town to watch when he was accosted. Good read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-02 00:00:00 Cameron Wood If you're interested in gender, Texas, boxing, or immigration politics, this is a worthwhile read. It's more about some of those things than others, but it touches on all of them and it's a really stirring memoir.
