A review by heykellyjensen
The Orange Houses by Paul Griffin

2.0

I got about 3/4 of the way through, and though I know whatever the big action is will happen soon, I had to give up. It was far too outside my knowledge and scope of understanding or appreciation. However, anyone interested in a gritty, street-driven novel set in and around a housing project focused on youth, disabilities, and discrimination, this will certainly be a winner.

The star rating system is such a frustrating thing. I found personally this book not enjoyable, so it's a 2 star. But there are people I know who would love this and want more like it. The 2 stars are my subjective opinion entirely but don't reflect the potential. I give up :)
