Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Manny relates his coming of age experiences as a member of a poor Mexican American family in which the alcoholic father only adds to everyone's struggle.
Review:
"Reading this book is so intimately revelatory it's like moving into someone's house. Martinez' deceptively straightforward prose is rich with poetic turns of phrase, and his ability to communicate the environment and dynamics of this family--their struggles with poverty, racism, and violence--make his writing startlingly visceral."
Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, December 1996
Review:"The book's greatest success lies in Martinez's ability to immerse readers immediately and effortlessly in the world of the narrator."
Jim Naughton, Washington Post Book World, 01/12/1997
