Title: Overrated!
Review: I have to disagree with the rave reviews this has received. Though Kozol has undertaken a book on a lofty and worthwhile topic his treatise on poverty in the South Bronx is a disappointing, self-conscious soapbox report, which I liken to a teenager's first person school essay. This is hardly the stuff of a great writer. It seems as though people are more impressed with the subject than they are the literary prowess with which Kozol writes; there is nothing extraordinary in his writing, nothing at all. Bad job.
