review:
A book that feels really autobiographical, and I'm sure a lot of it is. Diaz concentrates on sad stories of poverty, immigration, domestic abuse, race, loss, and the pain of growing up. I'm not sure quite what made me like this book so much, other than that it felt really real. At any rate, I read it really fast, and I really look forward to reading Diaz's novel, the Oscar Wao book.
