This book left a taste in my mouth. It's sweet and sour and tangy and almost bitter (in the way sadness tastes). 

It's a moving book, told a very serious and sad story with the kind of humor that makes you forget to cry. 

I like Oscar Wao, felt pity for him, I think he's also foolish especially at the end, or as the book suggested, it's the generational curse.
