thaths 's review for:
The Orphan Master's Son
by Adam Johnson
I really liked most of the first book/act. But the Texas chapter was full of shallow, 1-dimensional characters who read like caricatures of Americans (Cowboy-hat wearing Senator from Texas, Proselytizing evangelical wife of the Senator, Stealth female CIA agent, etc.). I do not know if this was intentional on the part of the author. This made me wary of the rest of the book. If the American characters were caricatures, how realistic were the North Korean characters?
All said, though, the prose is beautiful throughout the book.
