I finally got around to reading this book, widely acclaimed as a great collection of tales that focus on different aspects of a Dominican immigrant and his family. The 10 specific stories in this book all center around the same characters, but tells different stories from different character's perspectives. I found some of the stories of life in the Dominican to be interesting, yet I also grew a little tired of hearing about adolescent life growing up in the city. The most intriguing part of this book for me though was hearing about a father's move away from the country and culture he was familiar with to the United States to eventually try to make something with his life. I found this to be the most captivating aspects of the entire book.
