Title: The South...Just Like Everyone Told Me
Product review: This should have been a better book, but oh well. A bland sort of story with few surprises, but a whole lot of cliches.Because of course everyone KNOWS that every white person in the South is a heartbeat away from going to a lynching, and they hardly bother to conceal their white hoods. And when our handsome hero is, by the end of the novel, staggering down the RR tracks, running from the corrupt law enforcement mob, after barely escaping the noose himself, it's just kind of pathetic. You know from the start where this is going. The devils all had their horns out from the start.However, the fictional ugliness of Black Pool does remind me of the real ugliness in DC today, December 2009.
