DA.

I don't think it's the most terrible concept in the world, but it is an overdone and completely repetitive story.

Also there's something to be said for how these kinds of social-justice stories that focus on white characters, and come from white-authors are given more of an audience and focus than stories that come from people of color themselves. And I imagine that as a person of color that must so utterly frustrating to deal with

No one will listen to the merits of 'not being racist' unless it comes from a white person yanno?

Again: not saying the book or author should be burned at the stake, but I can understand the irritation towards the story-type in general.

Oh, I can, too, but man - that review! As if the book was one long tirade against all things 'other' and ranted about the evils of everything non-'white' and the superiority of everything 'white' as if it were gospel truth.

Not the impression i got from Anon above or the article other Anon linked....

Oh well. It seems to be doing well sales wise, or did, so that's probably all the publishing company cared about.
