The Last Narco
By Malcolm Beith
Spring Semester
Blog Post 1: The book I choose to read is , “The Last Narco.” There is thousands of characters in this book. The main character is, Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera a.k.a, “ El Chapo.” I’m pretty sure you know who this is. He is the most wanted man in Mexico. El Chapo is known for being the drug lord and the head of the Sinaloa cartel. A cartel is a an association of manufacturers or suppliers with the purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and restricting competition. A second character that is mentioned is, “ El Padrino.” Padrino means Godfather in spanish. He is literally the godfather, His full name is Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. El Padrino is widely considered to be the founder of the modern Mexican drug trade.
Blog Post 2: My book takes place in all Mexico. This book is about, “El Chapo,” and he his currently in Mexico and has been in Mexico. The book takes place since El Chapo was born which is, April 4, 1957. It talks about all Chapo’s life so it talks about 1957 to now. This is mentioned since the beginning of the book.
Blog Post 3: My book has 222 pages without including the resources. I have read up to page 78. I liked the beginning of the book because I always heard about El Chapo escaped but I never knew really how. Different people say he escaped this way and some say he escaped that way but the beginning actually mentions what he did to escape.
Blog Post 4:I think this book reinforce what most people say and talk about. My book is about a man known as one of the richest drug lord I think everyone knows who this man is. This book talks about his escape and everyone talks about a different story but people that actually know the story they are getting reinforced by this book. The Last Narco has very good details and it has images of a lot of important things to support what the book is about.

There is an example in page 54 where he is talking about how he was just fourteen and he had already killed a deer before but the buck he was about to kill he felt bad because he seen that buck as a pet and he thought he was cute.
