Title: What a let down..I couldn't even finish the book!
Review: After the excellence of white teeth, this is a poor effort. First I don't think the author should try to write a book based on life in America because she clearly does not understand it. I don't know the basis of her research and I don't want to paint with a broad brush BUT, the children of academics and most middle-upper middle class black and well read people do not speak "ebonics". Most cannot even relate to the characters she miserably attempts to portray. I did not buy into the story or any of the characters. After a few chapters, I found myself annoyed by the baseless story, lame dialogue between the family members. I hope the author goes back to what she knows and does best - stories of characters based in England. Glad I didn't pay for this one!!!
