I tried to read this book...got to page 100 and decided there are so many other books in this world that I might actually enjoy. Difficult to read because full of Spanish, so hard to follow who's story you are reading (there are 3 characters). In fact, I was never sure if they were talking about life in the Dominican Republic or America. I have no idea how in the world this book ever got a Pulitzer Prize....in fact it took me 2 weeks to read the 100 pages because it was so awful.

I was a little disapointed in this book. Seemed kind of unbelieveable. But at the end, I was very happy that I stuck through it.

I had a very hard time getting into this book and following the characters. I was pretty disappointed and the only reason that I didn't quit was because I just can't stop a book in the middle!!
