A review by salshrem_nardea
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
3.0
I have to start out saying that I had to read this book for school, which always makes a difference with the approach to the book.
Now that that's out of the way, the actual book was OK, not great, not bad, just OK.
It was confusing at times and there are a lot of characters to follow. The way it is written is very odd but arguably adds a different dimension to the book. I enjoyed Junot Diaz's writing style as it made the book less boring. But after all was said and done, it was nothing great.
Also, I don't particularly like the footnotes and explanations of Dominican Republic's history. I wish he just smoothly added it into the story.
