A review by jedore
The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle

5.0

At the least, everyone living in a border state should read this book, although I think every American should read it. It is a realistic story that introduces the reader to the various types of illegal aliens...good and bad. Although I still feel that immigrants should follow the legal path into this country, I now know that this is an idealistic opinion. I know that if I had been unlucky enough to been born into Mexico, I would do anything it takes to give my children a better life.
