I'm glad your dedication to Alvarez has paid off.

I read Junot Diaz's book about Dominican history and politics in the Trujillo era, and I don't think that after that I would want to read Alvarez, based on your reviews. The Diaz was really good.

I was intrigued by your review of Amy Tan's book. I don't know if I would like it or not. I think my reaction would be very similar to yours, since I also read for well-drawn, sympathetic characters, and would be frustrated by the lack of ground covered in a 400-page novel. I'll see. I have a lot of books I'm really looking forward to trying first.
