tmuthusamy 's review for:
White Teeth
by Zadie Smith
DID NOT FINISH
my first DNF i fear...
this was not for me. zadie smith's writing continues to be experimental and i can see how some readers love her. i, unfortunately, am not one of her. this was a very characterization heavy book that just seemed to continue to describe different events that happened to the cast of characters, with very little through-line. tbf, i only got through 75% of it so maybe it got really really good in the last quarter (doubtful...). i want to love her work so bad, this wasn't one of those for me.
