Title: Disturbing stereotypes
Review: I found the main character, Lee, to be boring and much too concerned with what everyone she encountered thought or did. However, what turned me off the most were the archaic stereotypes all through the book. I can't help but think that the author herself is a very prejudiced person and used Lee as her spokesperson.I was offended by the fact that (naturally) it was the inner-city black girl who stole from the dorm rooms. How about the Hispanic girls who (of course) wore too much makeup and loud clothing? Several comments the main character made about Jews also seemed to come out of left field and were completely offensive.You can use the excuse that it was just the "character" talking but it really made me dislike her.
Is the review positive or negative?
