kumipaul 's review for:

The Man Who Lived Underground by Richard Wright
3.0
dark sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Pretty strong indictment of police racism and corruption. When Fred goes underground, we get lots of symbolism in his scavenging. However, I was baffled by his relationship with his family, and thought that the ending could have been better.
