Dear Junot Diaz,
I thoroughly enjoyed your book despite having no condescending plot, and being a series of short stories, two characteristics of books that I dislike. I don't know why I like it as much as I did but I found it a pleasure to read. I'm drawn to your writing style (or at least more than I am to Maxine Hong Kingston) because I find that yours is more straight forward. I find Maxine's writing style to be too poetic to my liking to the point that I get her dreams confused with the reality she presents. And while you have metaphors in your book they are more subtle and therefore I find it to be more interpret-able as well as poetic. You also seem to be able to capture human nature of the characters in the book as if they were each you when you were younger.
