The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz

3.0

If you're struggling with the language or the multitude of references to literature, movies, games, etc. I recommend using http://www.annotated-oscar-wao.com/ to help you through. I cannot say I quite enjoyed this often violent and depressing story, but I appreciated the writing, felt fully immersed in the culture and family history, and thoroughly enjoyed all the Tolkien references.
