The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was a good read, but I think I hurt it with too high expectations and that's never a good thing. It's an utterly unique story about a Dominican nerd who has no luck with women. The narration is cleverly done. The story is good. I think I set my expectations on life-changing though based on all the super extra wonderful reviews out there. It wasn't, but it was a darn good read.
I did the same thing with this one, had pretty much an identical reaction!
ReplyDeleteI loved the first chapter and the end. I really wanted more Oscar. I agree. It was good, but not life changing.
