Over the course of the first semester during SSR times I read two books. The books of my choice were “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” and “Hunting El Chapo” by Andrew Hogan. Both of these novels were eye catching but the book that  caught most of my attention was “Hunting El Chapo”. The main character was DEA Agent Andrew Hogan, the leader of the tracking and capture of Joaquin Guzman (El Chapo). Andrew was the type of human who wanted to be perfect, as a child he drew police cars down to every little detail and he claims even the slightest mistake he would start completely over. I didn't really feel related to anyone in the book or connected, but knowing the little information about Chapo the book was somewhat predictable to an extent there were mind blowing points through the book. The novels writing criteria seemed to be story lined, Chapters were storynames and within the chapters the stories were separated by month, day, year not really in chronological order but it was put together. With the story mainly being told from a government view I would like to hear Chapo's side of the case. What was it like constantly running from the government, did he feel any wrong for what he was doing? To make the story better i would want to ask Joaquin Guzman for his personal side. THe book was about finding and capturing him so give him a dynamic role. This didn't make the book bad overall it's a good informal book to read if  DEA cases catch your attention.
