The more you read, the more interesting it gets. I liked it especially when the writer begins the story with full of questions and seamlessly unfolds the story by a little bit but enough to make you keep going. Also, the sudden narrative shiftings are a one of the inseparable parts of the book that makes it more gripping yet perplexing. It can be taken both as a plus and a minus. However, one thing I truly want to point out is that the author does not use any quotation marks, which makes the reading process quite confusing. Anyways, I have never read a novel about lives in Dominican Republic, so the Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was a very new experience me, and that’s what made me like it. “The only way out is in.” -Lola “What’s certain is that nothing’s certain.” Feb 4, 2018 (Started this book in train from Irkutsk to Ulaanbaatar, and have managed it to finish for this week’s challenge.)
