My Bloody Life

The Making of a Latin King

By: Reymundo Sanchez

Narrated by: Rudy Sanda

Looking for an escape from childhood abuse, Reymundo Sanchez turned away from school and baseball to drugs, alcohol, and then sex and was left to fend for himself before age 14. The Latin Kings, one of the largest and most notorious street gangs in America, became his refuge and his world, but its violence cost him friends, freedom, self-respect, and nearly his life. This is a raw and powerful odyssey through the ranks of the new Mafia, where the only people more dangerous than rival gangs are members of your own gang, who in one breath will say they'll die for you and in the next will order your assassination.

Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

“A slow-motion riot of drugs, sex, and gunplay." ( Publishers Weekly)

amazing

I binged the entire 12 hour book that's how good it was I had a visual of what was being read and even found myself with chills every now and again amazing book and narrator

Good content, cringy narration

As already stated in other reviews the content is interesting but the narration is subpar. Why not get a fluent, native Spanish bilingual to read this? I didn't think it would distract or bother me as much but honestly, it would have. ade listening to this better.

Amazing tale

As a Chicago resident who grew up in the hood it’s a very elaborate tale of what gang life is truly like.

Great story but….

You can’t fake language. Poor decision in choosing this narrator. Not his fault but a native Spanish speaker should have been asked to narrate.

Amazing Story!!!

Loved this book so much!
The story is insane from begining to end you won't want to put it down
