Drown & The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

I was assigned "Drown" for a contemporary English Lit class in college.

I didn't fall in love with the book immediately, but I grew to love his style of writing (his plots are a bit lacking, in my opinion). The stories in this book are so raw yet he does not spoil them with details. I liked it enough that I bought "The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" years later.

I liked "The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" more than "Drown." I feel that Junot Diaz has a similar style in both books, but that the plot was better in "The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao." I also liked the Gabriel García Márquez theme/magic in the book.
