Review 1:
"It's been 11 years since Junot Diaz published his acclaimed story collection, DROWN, and he has spent the time well, honing the sharp, slangy voice that propels his terrific first novel....Narrated in high-energy Spanglish...erudite and hilarious...it is a joy to read, and every bit as exhilarating to reread."

Review 2:
"Diaz's voice sweeps together ghetto slang, pop cultural nods and winks, puns, historiographic excursuses, and blunt, unsentimental lyricism.....[The novel] proposes a defiant new model of immigrant personhood."

Review 3:
"Diaz's reverse family saga, crossed with withering satire, makes for a compelling, sex-fueled, 21st-century tragi-comedy with a magical twist." (starred review)
