review 1: This is a damn good, entertaining book! The writing is clean and charismatic, with a hip flare similarly found in Junot Diaz novels. It is a rarity for me to digest a book in a few days, but the sensual experience and perceptiveness of Boy Hernandez, a young filipino immigrant just trying to make it in America as a fashion designer, is really engrossing. It is comprised of interesting tales of love and ambition that hit close to home for any hopeless romantic, and of a shadowy world of indefinite detentions, extraordinary renditions, and crushing despair. I enjoyed this book a lot.
review 2: I picked this up after being seduced from the review comments in the beginning, but felt it was highly doubtful that I would enjoy a novel centered on a woman's clothin... moreg designer and the fashion world of New York City since I really have no interest in either. What a surprise! A great book! Well written, witty and clever with interesting characters and an interesting and engaging plot. Sometimes the review blurbs are true! less
