I like a unique voice. I like colloquialism when used well. I enjoy quirky narrators. All of this is present here. You get a lot of “Dude didn’t. I think with this book it’s good to start with some of the things that didn’t work for me. I failed at my first try to read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, not because the book wasn’t compelling but because I was trying to read it on a trial Sony Reader. Booooo! I had to quit after the first footnote. I finally got a copy of the physical book, and the result was much better: I finished the book. It was also better because I enjoyed the process. Just not as much as I hoped, so I need your help to sift through my feelings to see if I’m missing something or if it’s just an issue of taste.
