The unfamiliar construction of the book made me uncomfortable and made me question my ability to comprehend...The footnotes, the flow of the words, the pace....but after a while, I found myself so intrigued with the uniqueness of the book and by the time I was done reading the book I was like : man, now this is what I call a work of art. This art taught me, challenged me, frustrated me, it made me reflect and deflect, it made me relate and not want to relate...etc etc etc. Many thanks to Junot Diaz for sharing his talent and art...
