Story4.5 out of 5 stars 605
Rene "Boxer" Enriquez grew up on the violent streets of East L.A., where gang fights, robberies, and drive-by shootings were fueled by rage, drugs, and alcohol. When he finally landed in prison - at the age of 19 - Enriquez found an organization that brought him the respect he always wanted: the near-mythic and widely feared Mexican Mafia, La Eme. What the organization saw in Enriquez was a young man who knew no fear and would kill anyone - justifiably or not - in the blink of an eye.

Publisher's Summary
The California Prison System houses a mixture of Mexican cartel members, Mexican mafia, Bloods, Crips, and thousands of other street gangs fighting for control and the author turns this story into a pulp thriller of true crime.
Glenn Langohr takes you on a journey back into prison as he remembers a prison war with the Mexican Mafia before his release date. Days later, he got released. His friend he was in the deadly riot with didn't. He went to Pelican Bay's Super Max.
The story follows Glenn Langohr years later as he visits his friend in Pelican Bay during a prisoner developed hunger strike against sadistic and cruel guards who get off on their isolation and enjoy adding violence to their torture.

Captivating and Symbolic
Would you consider the audio edition of Underdog to be better than the print version?
UNDERDOG by Glenn Langohr is a well written true prison story fraught with emotion and detail. At the beginning of the book, the author and his wife visits an animal shelter to adopt a dog. The poor dogs were totally neglected in their cages, much like the prisoners in the hole, they too were in cages. The author reveals a story about the hunger strike and the beating of prisoners. You would never hear about this in the media.
The book is true. It's fact of what's going on in the prison system. Ironically, this book was released just one day after prisoner Christian Alexander Gomez, 27, dies during the hunger strike in a California prison.

realistic and accurate view from the inside
Exceptionally well written. I enjoyed this book and it's gritty subject matter. It's a non flinching and realistic account of life on the inside I reccomend the entire series. A very hard book to put down or stop listening to as an audio book.

Very boring
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If there was less dull information and more of a story
What could Glenn Langohr have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Have an interesting story to tell
How could the performance have been better?
Maybe being able to write a story with a beginning middle and end
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Some parts were interesting but not new information
