Helpful Score: 1

This book deserved the high praise my friends lavished on it, the Pulitzer, the gushing of envious contemporaries. The urban voice, inflected with science fiction/fantasy jargon and Spanish, is perfect. You just don't want to put it down. This author is generous with his characters and they seem very real. He gives a big slice of difficult Dominican history and makes it easy to understand.
