I almost past Part II, where the story revolves around the mother grwoing up in the DR, but dammit this has been a much slower read than I thought it would be. I hope the last 150 pages are a lot better than the first.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Sorry to hear that, Cold. I didn't have that issue, but I could see that some people wouldn't find all of the characters as intriguing as others. The focus does come back to Oscar later in the book, so I think you'll like the last portion (assuming you enjoyed the first).
