1.5 This book is riddled with every slur you can think of for every community. Filled with misogyny. Everyone is either selfish or suffering. He really wrote every single stereotype of negative Dominican culture absolute fact and as if the only option. Like G*d the book was so over the top I have to actually say not all men are like this???? Idk, maybe the author is sucio como el solo, y si es asi... vete pal infierno maldito :) Last two chunks of the book actually show Yunior suffering for his own actions and seeing that those around him are living more fulfilling lives, including the type of life he wishes he had.shanman's review

This is sincerely the worst book I have ever read. The fact that there was only one interesting story in the entire novel is sad. The main character is unlikable and dry. I had to force myself to get through this book that was basically a slur buzz word wet dream that a 15 year old with no understanding of organization wrote. I wanted it to get better and the story had such potential, but the writing style is hard to follow and I found a majority of the characters lacked serious depth I was aching for. Not worth the time.
