I endured for an anthropology course I was taking. I just didn't appreciate any part of the writing style or anything. It's not often that I dislike a book so much but I definitely did not care for this one.”

Yes | No“Lives of a wealthy environmentalist and a poor Mexican couple, "illegals" just trying to get work and a new life, intersect and contrast hugely in this somewhat disturbing novel. I look forward to plenty of book-club discussion of the book's huge contrasts and ironies.”
