I was surprised by how much I liked this book. I don't like gratuitous use of the n-word, I don't normally like Junot Diaz's quotation-less style, but I was captivated by this story. I may have a soft spot for it because I like stories that show the lives of people of color and I'm familiar with the difficulties of living in Cambridge, but all the twists and turns are captured here. From the tragedies to the larger sad story about life and survival. I think Yunior was astute and terrible and everything in between. The breadth of characters and their choices felt so real and charming.

Junot Diaz's latest returns to the familiar territory of his debut short story collection, "Drown." These are earthy, sometimes vulgar stories of love, sex and all the ways it can go wrong. I agree with one of the commentators, that it's a very male book and you won't find many well-drawn female characters in hear. Then again, the male characters are pretty shallow too. The final story is the strongest. I preferred his novel.
