Negative Positive
Title: well written, but worth writing?
Review: I was excited to get into this book... it seemed so promising. Clash of post-modern clutures, learning to live (or not live) with our neighbors, who are so different from us.But nearly half of it is about this one crazy man finally going over the edge. In that vein, it's nowhere near as good as 'In Cold Blood' (what is, right?).And in terms of culture clash, it's nowhere near as good as Crash (film, yea, but very thought-provoking).In retrospect, I wonder why an author from way-mostly-white New Hampshire would set his culture-clash novel in California. It could never happen here, right?
Is the review positive or negative?
