I started our new book this week, and my brow began to sweat because we keep picking these 600 page Spanish Magical Realism books! However, this book is a happy surprise compared to the others. The narrator is a little whiney and talks about sex too much (Holden Caufield! Get out of my brain!), but the story is strange and interesting. So far it's reminding me a lot of "The Brief and Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao" and "The People of Paper". I hope everyone has picked up a copy and is ready to read!

ReplyDeleteYeah, I just started reading my copy from the library and finished the first part in one night. Yay! I've needed a book like this, easy to get into and fast reading. Jenna
ReplyDeleteCool! J, do you like the second part? That part is proving harder and harder for me to get through!
