2. Was this a compelling read and why?
Yes, this story talked about the past of Javier Medina, which was sad, but then you keep reading wanting to know what happens. He turns out successful in his work with Bouchon, and gets a job in Beverly Hills.
3. What did you think as you read this story? I thought that Medina would go to jail, come out, change his ways, and then go to rehabilitation, but it turned out he really made the choice on his own. One day he just snapped, something in him clicked and he realized this isn't what he wanted to do. It was a touching story.
