This novel is a uniquely modern examination of the cross-cultural and
generational divide between immigrant children and there parents.  Filled with
pop-cultural references from Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of The Rings to Kanye
West, written in a fast-paced Spanglish that feels authentic and like a
testament to the books examination of cultural distinctions, the Wondrous life
of Oscar Wao is a modern masterpiece, every bit as intriguing as a
socuo-cultural commentary as the coming-of-age of a second generation American
immigrant.  A Tour de force, I would highly recommend this novel.
