Book Review of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I found the unusual writing style irritating, but the storyline was intriguing, and I fought my way through to the end. The long historical footnotes were somewhat humorous, but mostly a nuisance, and I pretty much quite reading them a quarter of the way in. Maybe I am too impatient a reader for this style.
