Top reviews from the United States

  • Erik Glantz
    5.0 out of 5 stars A strong and interesting story full of ideas
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This book is an interesting story that flows strongly and naturally, and is really full of ideas about people, history, and social issues. The reviews are basically right. Unlike most modern novels, I actually cared about the characters and what they were doing, fighting for justice for poor children, and meeting small-town sleaze as well as high-level obstacles. The plot keeps getting broader and more interesting, and there is quite a variety of characters shown in believable detail. Also a lot of humor and good description. But the ideas are what make it really worthwhile.
