The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
From the department of 15-second book reviews:
Not one but several beautiful and heart-wrenching stories get told in this book. Overall, though, the novel doesn’t feel very cohesive. Edwidge Danticat’s collection of short stories, The Dew Breaker, actually had more unity. Sure, I love the narrative style, and I’m not asking to be hit over the head with “A Big Message”(tm), but it all feels just a little too disjointed to leave a lasting impression on me.
