Not once has a boom ever managed to ignite this rage in me, and that is not a compliment.
I get that it is supposed to be socially critical and all that but if you want to accurately protray the suffering a minority actually has to go through in order to point out white privelege and prejudiced racist thinking, I don't think this is the way to go.
All the respect for social novels, I think Boyle went to far with this one.
