Negative Positive
Title: Guilt is an obnoxious feeling to have when reading.
Review: Brothers and Keepers, in the beginning, was an interesting piece of work, about a man who makes his way to the top in a racist and oppressive society. But as I read on, I began to form the impression that I should be feeling bad about who I am (a Caucasian woman from Minnesota with everything *apparently* handed to me on a golden platter.) To tell you the truth, I found the book quite offensive. I am sick and tired of having to feel bad for every Tom Dick and Harry African American who has had something bad happen in his/her life and who wishes to use white people as the scapegoat. The book would have been more impressive if he would have stuck to the storyline and gotten further away from who should feel evil and who is to blame.
Is the review positive or negative?
