• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.0

This book was an unattractive, underwritten protégé of "To Kill a Mockingbird"—nevermind Flannery O'Connor, to whom the author was compared. There was no moral, no character growth whatsoever. If one is going to write utterly revolting characters, in order for the book to still be good they must also be compelling. They were not. The plot comes in a complete full circle of nothingness, which no conflict resolution whatsoever.
