robynryle 's review for:

The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle
3.0

This was an "acopalyptic" vision of California, complete with coyotes (of both sorts), illegal aliens, and liberal Easterners turned gun-toting racist. Engaging, but as with most acopalypses, also depressing. I want to believe that this book is representative of neither the experiences of most illegal immigrants nor of liberal, suburban Californiaites, but what do I know?
