Helpful Score: 2

Culturally, this book was exceedingly difficult to relate to. Except for the scifi references, which I often found amusing. But, The racial slurs (even if in self reference) the profanity both in english and spanish, and other derogatory comments made this book less a bit of a struggle to get through. If you can manage to ignore the language and what not, the underlying story is a good one. Oscar is likable and pitiable. The Dom. Rep background is lamentable but I think the people should be aware of what goes on in other countries.
