im_just_m 's review for:
The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
dark
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
N/A
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Not once has a boom ever managed to ignite this rage in me, and that is not a compliment.
I get that it is supposed to be socially critical and all that but if you want to accurately protray the suffering a minority actually has to go through in order to point out white privelege and prejudiced racist thinking, I don't think this is the way to go.
All the respect for social novels, I think Boyle went to far with this one.
