Cade Burton burtoncade72c2 — Loved learning about New Mexico early 20th century. Main character was a very strong women in a time when that must have been challenging.

сухраб байганалиев sukhrabbai57b5 — This ought to be one of the best vampire books I've ever read. Seriously, it has everything - lovable main characters, action, steamy scenes that are definitely worth reading. One of the things that I liked was Bones's background. Not that him being a former prostitute is a good thing, but he did learn a lot from that job of his (Cat knows first-hand now). However, him telling his story to Cat just showed how strong he was and that he'll never break. He was a real man, because he told Cat how he felt about her in her face. And although he's a vampire, he still had good inside him (take Tara's situation). He doesn't kill innocent people to feed. His attitude is the next best thing about him. He was funny, but he knew when to be serious. I liked Cat very much, because who doesn't like a badass heroine? And the thing that made her so amazing was the fact that she wasn't some kind of a She-male, but instead she knew when to be scared and when there was no need for fear. Another thing I liked about her was that she wasn't stupid enough to trust a vampire (Bones) right away, unlike some stupid heroines (take Bella Swan for example). At the end of the book, she sacrificed ten years of her life just to secure Bones's safety because she really loved him. She wasn't selfish enough to make her mother, who hates vampires with passion, to run away with a vampire just so she can be the one who gets the happy ending. The character that I didn't like was Cat's mother. I've read the next five books and I kind of start to like her in the last two, but in this one she was just plainly a bitch. I understood the fact that she is very scared of vampires because of what Cat's father did to her, but unlike her daughter, who was selfless and brave, she acted like a spoiled brat. How can she sacrifice her daughter's happiness, even if it involves one of your worst nightmares, just so you can be satisfied? Before I read the next books and got to like her a bit, I actually thought that Bones should have killed her right away. (Again, he could have, but he knew it would hurt Cat.) To sum it up, that book was more than great and interesting as hell. I was pretty much ecstatic when I found out that there are going to be nine books in the series instead of seven. I won't say that I hope that Jeaniene Frost will keep up with the good work, because I'm pretty sure that she will. Her books are amazing, her writing is also amazing and her storylines are interesting. She has potential to write and that's the truth.

Monisha Pillai monishapillai — Like The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Yunior is a key character here, and the main character/voice in all but a story or two. I very much enjoyed these stories, and Diaz's writing style. It's visual and gritty, which fits well with the content. For example: "with the sun sliding out of the sky like spit off a wall." The focus of the stories as a group is on race, being from the DR in America/becoming American, poverty, and family struggles. The family issues revolve mostly around Yunior's dad, who is abusive to some extent and semi-disappears for five years when he goes to America before bringing his family after him. Yunior takes the difficult parts of his life in stride - they aren't really unusual. But he does notice their effects: "Tia looked a ton like Mami; the two of them were both short and light-skinned. Tia smiled a lot and that was what set them apart the most." A few of the stories seemed calculated to shock or surprise the reader more than anything else. The titular story, Drown, is one of these. But even that story has its moments that provoke thought: "I've tried to explain, all wise-like, that everything changes, but [Mami] thinks that sort of saying is only around so you can prove it wrong." Race is also a major theme, and several of the stories discuss what it's like to be brown in America. The story How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie stands out from the rest as it is written in the second person. Its an obvious attempt to put the reader in Yunior's skin, but what's most interesting in the story is how the "you" of the story treats girls (and expects to be treated by them) based on their race. It's the local stereotypes in action, and it's what "you" (and all of us) cling to in order to keep our lives a little predictable and understandable, and to help us understand the place we occupy in the world. This is brought home in the following statement - both sadly and poignantly: "Tell her that you love her hair, that you love her skin, her lips, because, in truth, you love them more than you love your own." Themes: race, America, Dominican Republic, Hispanic, immigration, poverty, sex, violence, fear, short stories

Iliana Stavropoulou ilianasangf2cc — This is an excellent book and a wonderful example of how powerful poetry can be, even for younger readers. I just bought a copy for my library!

дмитрий прядко dmitriy_pryadko — I liked it overall. The story telling was really good and the characters were complex and interesting. I wish I knew more about the Dominican Republic history because much of this book takes place in that country- and a fair amount of the story is written in Spanish - I know enough Spanish to get by, so it was OK.
