I find this in high contrast to Requiem. In Requiem, I found it difficult to understand when things were starting and stopping and when the priest was in the present or when he was thinking about Paco. I really disliked this story just because it was hard to follow and I didnt feel captivated and like I was present in the story. This makes me glad that El Mundo seems like a second story I can enjoy reading without getting frustrated, because reading becomes so much easier and more enjoyable when you are there, in a story and understand the events going on without having to go back and be like wait is this happening now or did this already happen? Throughout the quarter, I've decided that books are like Michael Jackson for me, I either love them or I hate them.

El Mundo vs Requiem
I completely agree with Will about El Mundo. It is amazingly easy to understand the meanings of sentences without having to constantly be looking up words. I usually spend hours throughout the week reading in order to finish in time, but El Mundo I will have finished much sooner. It is easier to read because of the language that Millan uses, and also it's easier to distinguish where things are taking place and to identify starting and stopping places of events and actions that are being placed.
