Official Review: Citizen Cárdenas by Steve Cole

I was on the verge of quitting going through the book but then I realised Steve Colle has just given the clear outlook of class based society.....
Gato seems the epitome of class struggle and how He is able to man himself amidst the two fellows who later forms a lineal family....

Thanks for your review! My grandfather is from Cuba so this story really strikes a chord with me. Hopefully all turns out well for Gato.

A very relatable dilemma, as we have all been the victim of bureaucratic snafus and red tape at one time or another. Also, the characters and plot sound very interesting. I may have to check this one out.

Great review. This sounds like an intriguing read for fans of heavily character driven books. I think observing the human condition can be fascinating as well as sussing out ones secrets and true motivations. Congrats to the author on a terrific review.

Excellent review - thank you! I just read a sample and can not even imagine the challenges that would go with the SS bureau determining that you are dead - let alone without any ID to prove who you are and that you are alive and kicking. I'm intrigued by your question - why now after being aware of Gato for 15 years ... I will have to check this one out!

This seems like an unusual and very worthwhile book. I wasn't too taken, at first, with the free sample, but I'm encouraged by your comments about substance and depth.

Highlights bureaucracy which can be very frustrating... I can relate to this. Thanks for a very candid review. I will read this!

This is an elegant review of a narrative that highlights the marginalized and their belittling treatment by the system and members of their community.

Good and a descriptive review which helps every one to understand the book content clearly. Anyway the book seems of not my type so I do not think to give a try for this one. Thank you for the review and I must say good job

Character-driven story is what I am looking for. It seems like a captivating story about identity. Nice review!

Gato sounds like a complex and intriguing character, and I am curious about his story. Thank goodness he found Alexia and George, and hopefully they can help him solve the mystery of his identity. Thank you for the review.
