Denise's Reviews > The Bullet Swallower

I came across this book thanks to a recommendation on a book match I did at my library, I don’t typically go for westerns but in the past I have enjoyed historical fiction books that take place in Mexico, so I decided to give this one a chance! I enjoyed the dual time lines and thought the author did really well with making sure the reader knew you were in the 1800s and then the 1960’s. Even though Antonio was a bad man, I loved his character and witnessing his development and how much he changed within a very short time span was amazing and tbh I almost cried at the end due to his redemption. In all I’d say this book was three and a half stars for me, I didn’t love it but I enjoyed it and will be looking for other titles by this same author!
Also, one last thought - I know some people didn’t vibe with the magical realism, but I like it. I thought it was simple enough and to the point.
