The book is creatively written and engaging. I wish I had boned up on my Spanish before reading this book because some is interminged--not enough to lose the meaning of the book, but enough that I wish I understood it. The footnotes, while often informative and interesting, where sometimes distratcing to the story. All that aside, the book was very good. A week later, and I am still thinking about Oscar and the DR.
