Story of a misfit guy (nerd -> the joke of every kid in school, & not necessarily smart) living (originally in Paterson NJ). Well written; Perhaps too muchspanish dialect that most won't be able to penetrate.
Reading footnotes is a must in this book. They give you background on Dominican Republic & The Lord of the Rings most don't have. Good setting in Paterson & Dominican Republic, so you pick up the flavor of the places.
