keekbeeek 's review for:
The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
Ooooof... This was a tough read.
Boyle's prose and imagery were beautifully written. His writing style is unique and captivating. But this book was extremely depressing as it revolves around the (very real and very relevant) horrors of immigration, xenophobia, racism, and poverty in the US. One malady after another, the protagonists truly could not catch a break. I found my heart breaking at the turn of every page. I would definitely recommend the read. 3.5/5
