Query: Wow

After I read this book, I immediately read all of Hijuelos' other books; this one remains the best of them all. It is absolutely riveting, spell-binding, fascinating, entertaining, and VERY erotic (be warned about that if that sort of thing is not for you because it's intense and extremely descriptive, also beautiful, and some of the best erotic text I've ever read). This book is as rythmic and melodious as the music from which it draws its inspiration. If I could do it over, I almost wouldn't read this book first, because to me the rest of Hijuelos' are a bit of a let-down in comparison, and patterns in his themes begin to become apparent that make them less enjoyable (although reading it first is a good thing for not knowing about the patterns)....Great Book!
