review of another edition I liked this book a lot.......until I started reaching the end. So there goes a star. I disliked the end because not one calamity but eight follow one after another! You lose touch with reality. Sure, each of these things could have happened but probably not all of them. I stopped by my local library and started scanning the shelves for a book with an orange cover that would qualify for a Rainbow Challenge that I am participating in. This book looked intriguing with the great cover and story centered around illegal immigrants in California, a topic I have never read about before. I'm afraid the cover was the best part of the book. Between the inconsistencies, stating one thing, then a few paragraphs later something that didn't jive, the drab characters, drama th I may have said this before, but I find that with a lot of what I consider literary books (which by my personal definition) are books with a message, ones that are discussed in classes, book clubs, that sort of thing rather than just fun reads), the ending it what will determine if the rest of the buildup was all worthwhile.

Here, it was nice, but I would have preferred it to be different.Enter your mobile number or email address below and we'll send you a link to download the free Kindle App. Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required.

If you're familiar with Boyle's works you'll know that he loves nothing better than to subject his characters to torture and push them to the end of their physical and mental... A good story but depressing and an unsatisfactory ending I couldn't sympathise with any of the characters nor relate to them. The story didn't really grab me and it was a struggle to finish.
