This first time I read the book for pure enjoyment. If I have time before my forthcoming emigration to the DR (and I sincerely hope I do not have) I would like to re-read it and list the hundreds of "Dominican Spanish" words and phrases which have defeated both my very rudimentary knowledge of Spanish and my big Collins Dictionary and appeal here for help in translating them. That should prove very educational for me and hopefully for others.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I would love to re-read this book again with a better knowledge and understanding of Dominican Spanish expressions used by the author. I was able to guess meaning of some of them - but definitely not all.
