This is one of those books that makes me realize most fiction I read is tired and boring. Maybe Oscar Wao is just vibrant and immensely real by comparison?

I can't decide which story I liked more...Yunior's time with Oscar at Rutgers was great. But in the end, I think I think I like the rise and fall of Abelard Cabral more than anything. All the characters, even the minor ones, feel so well defined. Very well written.

Apparently the author is a total tool...but I really liked the book.

> than the movie, which I saw several years ago now. There's a lot of things I liked...great color palette, great dialogue. I think it's hard to pull off a book, much less a graphic novel, that is full of conversations with very little in the way of visual cues, short on plot, and has an extremely unappealing protagonist. But it works. Love the scene in the grocery store with the Lunchables.

The best superhero title out there.
