It was pretty interesting — the perspective of a dude who has been heavily influenced by corrupt male figures in his life, but chooses to view himself as a genuinely okay person. You sense that he knows who he wants to be, but has trouble getting there. He's emotional, but apathetic about his bad decisions. I somehow empathized for him right from the start. Each chapter is about a new girl and he jumps throughout different periods in his life, in no chronological order.

There is something about the way Junior Diaz writes and the subtly of the portrayals of his world and his characters that I can't help but love. I especially liked the changes in perspective. For all of Yunior's fuck-ups he never feels made up or over the top. He's a tragic figure, perhaps, but never a villain or an idiot. All that being said, I didn't really feel all that much of a connection to this book. I think I've just become tired of reading about men who can't help but be like their fathers.MoreLess Read More Read Less
