Writing style

What did you think of the very conversational, slangy writing style? Did you like all the Spanglish and references to geek culture, or did it distract from the story?

I mostly liked that element. I think it added to the authenticity of time and place. Sometimes it was annoying to have to look up stuff, I'll admit. I really enjoyed the footnotes about Dominican personages/history, but they could be distractingly long.

Yeah, I mostly liked it, especially after you found the annotations and I could actually tell what I was reading. The historical notes were really crucial, I think, to putting the story in perspective.
