3.5

Il libro è scorrevole, e l'organizzazione dei paragrafi (brevi) ne invoglia la lettura. Tuttavia, non mi ha entusiasmato perché si ripete troppe volte in situazioni identiche con una leggera differenza appena accennata. Anche la noia palpabile , a volte risulta eccessiva nella narrazione e non fa apprezzare altro che passa più in profondità , ma che poi esce prepotentemente nelle ultime 30/40 pagine. I personaggi sono stereotipati e tutti uguali, fotocopie di sé stessi.

A little repetitive at times but overall the themes were really good and it gives you a good idea what life was like in Los Angeles during the 80s
