i picked this up at the domicile because it looked interesting...
it was really hard for me to get into it- the flow was really weird (there are pages of historical notes on the dominican republic which were interesting, but not necessary) and the narrator used a lot of bad language. i think one of his favorites word was the n word.
theres also a lot of spanish in it, and though i know some mexican spanish, a lot of this was dominican and slang. it wouldve been nice if it was translated for those who dont know slang.
once i got past those things though, and really got into the story it was great and ididnt want to put it down. a tragic love story with a lot of family history and ethnic myths.
