I really loved this book – Junot has a way of mixing English with Spanglish and I don’t speak/read/understand Spanish but its still understandable and after living in Washington Heights and being around tons of Dominicans I can totally pick up on the dialect and slang. I love his style of writing – it’s so real and personal. Anyway, the book was excellent and almost had me crying at the end. Such a good book, highly recommended.
