So far, I’m finding The House of the Scorpion to be a very enjoyable read; it’s definitely the easiest book to make sense of that we’ve read this semester, and the narrative is interesting. I’m not sure how much of the ease comes from the fact that it’s written for a younger audience (probably a lot of it), but at any rate, it’s kept my interest and I’m curious to see where the book is headed after chapters 1-14.
