Len's Most Popular Reviews
Gripping. Beautifully written. The discussion of class does not feel as fleshed out as I had hoped. Female characters stay on the superficial side and tend to fall into tropes.
- emotional, gripping, affecting, hard to put down
- questionable obsession with queer suffering
- reinforces stereotypical connection between homosexuality and pedophilia
- author's presence in the text felt too strong and ubiqutous
- the unfolding of their lives feels hard to believe
- lack of strong female characters
When it comes to talking about race, this book is not great. When it comes to the rest, it is.
