The two books have an eye catching, captivating and unfathomable element that assists in making them highly readable. The concept of revolving round the element of organized crime and the thrill that comes along with these prospects makes it interesting. The writers want to bring out the changes that romance, change of class and the drive of dreams can take persons. The ultimate exit of the cartels which if often marked by death is a key element in the discovering the important prospects of leading such lives (Steve, 102). The two books have been written in first person making it easier for the readers to associate themselves with the authors’ sentiments and be in the characters position. The honesty that is associated in the book leaves nothing to rest when it comes to keeping the readers on their toes and thrilled. The posh and classy lives associated with the cartels shows the value and respect associated with money making it as though without it, one would be better off dead. “He wants awfully to be on the inside staring out: anybody with their nose pressed against the glass is liable to look stupid” (Zimmerman, 208)
