Book Review of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
nybeachgirl avatar reviewed on


I found this book painful. If you don't speak Spanish you miss much of the dialogue and descriptions (I don't). The book i about Oscar Wao, but is it? It's about his sister, his mom his grandmother. I couldn't wait to get through to the end. I made it but I couldn't wait to start a different book. Between the Spanish and the wandering story, I don't know how this is an award winning book.
