A review by savaging
White Teeth by Zadie Smith

5.0

A London full of Jehovah's Witnessers and animal rights terrorists and genetic manipulators and Islamic fundamentalists -- ALL the different sorts of fundamentalists too far from the fundamental, and all of them handing out pamphlets. I'm aware that Zadie Smith is back there trying to give the readers what they want, but I'm sold: I'm getting what I want (all these characters to love, all the Big Talk about race and colonization and faith couched in the heartbreak and hilarity of particulars). She's there at the very first chapter title grabbing my hand and saying wanna go on a ride? And yes, I do.
