So, just finished The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao...
...Was really hoping to like it more than I did. I gave it a shot based upon its inclusion in "best of the decade" lists as well as the Pulitzer.
It had much that was interesting and passages that were compelling but as a novel, as a story, it failed to involve me to the extent I had hoped.
It wasn't time wasted and the information about the Dominican Republic was certainly eye opening but I wouldn't be able to give it a particularly enthusiastic endorsement.
