Title: Not as good as her others....
Review: This wasn't a bad book...it is light, fluffy reading and clearly aims to be along the same lines as "To Kill a Mockingbird" in that it addresses racial issues in the southern 1960's. It simply wasn't as engaging or as deep as her other books. This one focuses on a teen and does seem more of a young adult book than anything else. It was very easy reading....and I expected more from one of my favorite authors.....for a much more satisfying take on this same era, read Downtown by this author...that was the first book of hers that I read, and it is wonderful...a novel that transports you to another place in time...unlike this one.
