Title: Great character development, steadily eroding story...
Review: What started out as a thickly developed, interesting story, totally destructs 2/3 of the way though. The strong, well developed cultural contrast between the 2 main character groups seemed squandered the deeper into the book I got. I was surprised to find this book had received awards. It seemed that the author became bored and decided to change the ending and take the cheap, Hollywood B movie ending route....Can you say "movie option?".If they do make this into a film, hopefully the script will be changed to have a more cohesive (and hopefully more positive) ending that fits the characters' development.Worth a look only to get a perspective on a naturalized citizens' view of America and as a possible model for developing and contrasting cultures though characterization..Otherwise, skip it.
Is the review positive or negative?
