Daz is a phenomenal storyteller. I laughed multiple times. His prose is sick. Siiiick! Getting a sneak peek into Dominican culture was also a treat. I've always been a fan of Daz's articles, but now that I have read a full-length novel, I'm on some next level fandom! I immediately purchased two of his other novels after reading The Brief and Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao. Good writing, a pleasant reading experience, and worthy of 4.25 stars.
