I enjoyed the writing but was turned off by some of the generalization of Mexico. It felt very focused on providing an outside perspective of life in Mexico but sometimes the “insights” cane across as wrong or stereotypical. For instance in the third or fourth story the line “the older men - say about fifty-five - they don't care about being faithful to their wives.” This is a sweeping generalization that is relatively problematic.
