Islandborn by Junot Díaz

So beautiful and colorful and creative! I was annoyed they didn't name the island for the entire book, but I suppose that lets lots of immigrant kids claim it as their island, which is nice. In the subjects on the copyright page it actually specifies the Dominican Republic and the years 1930 to 1961, I'll have to go research to see what exactly the Monster was. (ETA: it was a dictator named Trujullo)
