Title: there could have been a good book in there
Review: I tried twice, but couldn't get through the boring characters and whining crap from the characters. All the characters from the main family are a bunch of drips with nothing compelling to offer. There is a thread (in the first ~200 pages I read) of an interesting story, but I was regularly beaten down by diversions about the 'paler nation', PC junk, and generally uninteresting comparisons. Fortunately for the author the main characters were not white, so it will be easy for some readers to view their lameness as a great thing that defies 'stereotypes'.Too many pages, too much whining, too much plodding
