A review by lmpenrose
The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle, T.C. Boyle

3.0

Not into it. I'd probably give it two stars except that I do like the message, appreciate that it was presented in a way my high school students loved, and admit that I'm probably biased because I'm just not into fiction lately. But it seemed to me to drag, and it didn't help that a lot of the plot points were pretty unbelievable (that many natural disasters in a row? the same three parties happen to run into each other that many times?) The racism and elitism, however, is unfortunately totally believable.
