I liked this story a lot. All different types of people have a lot to say, but not everybody is a formal college-educated author. It is unique to hear such an emotional story come from such a colloquial writer. You would think that the reader wouldn't be able to take such a writer seriously, but I feel like the cursing and trash talk is something that many people can relate to. Because of this, it helps the reader connect with this specific illness narrative.
My favorite aspect of the story is how Rafa is sick, making it easy to feel sorry for him, but that he is an extremely unique character. Most writers glorify the sick, but this author included every flaw of his brother. Even though he showed that he loved his brother, sometimes it seemed as though he didn't like Rafa. I really enjoyed hearing such a unique perspective on such a common topic as cancer.
