When I first started reading this book I was wishing there was a glossary for the Spanish words. I also found the subtitles distracting. Sometimes they annoyed me. However, I loved this book; it was just so different. Most of the time I could understand the context of the Spanish. And the subtitles were interesting. I loved the way the stories were told. The characters were wonderful. At once heartbreaking, warm, and funny this is a book I won't soon forget.
