    Best book Ever?
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2023*

I remember reading this in college and I thought that his life as a college student was super inspiring. He lived with his family for a long time and decided to live on his own.

    The moving conclusion to a powerful trilogy
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2011*

This is the final book of Francisco Jiménez's autobiographical trilogy, a coming-of-age story about his escape from the grinding poverty of his migrant farm laborer family. The first two books are The Circuit, about his early childhood; and Breaking Out, about his junior high and high school years. I recommend all three books. I had bought the books in both English and Spanish for my daughter, who is a 6th grade student in a bilingual immersion school. I don't speak Spanish, and I wanted the English version so that I could follow along and maybe try to read some of the Spanish as well with an English translation at hand.These books are a poignant look at a hard-working migrant family in California. Jimenez, the second-born of 6 children, is a brilliant and hard-working student who managed to graduate high school with honors and then manages to find a way to go to college as well -- the first in his family to attain this goal. These books are worth reading just for the sheer cussedness and determination he had to have to overcome his family's struggles. One of the most powerful parts is when he considers leaving school to help his family financially after they have a major setback, and a Jesuit professor at his college convinces him to stay and continue to excel in school, which will be a bigger help in the future. I'm glad to have read this moving story and would happily read another follow-up book about his subsequent doctoral work at Columbia and his ensuing career as a college professor and writer.

    Good Closing to Series
  

*by Q***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2020*

Compared to Francisco Jimenez's first three books of his series, Reaching Out is the weakest, but it's a good closing chapter to his series of biographies.  This book details his experiences in graduate school, and it's more of a straightforward retelling of the events he went through.  The events aren't as moving as what he went through as a child, but if you've read the first three books you have to read this last one.
