Brick Lane by Monica Ali

3.0

I almost rated this 2 stars but decided to kick it up to three. I didn't completely hate it, but considering how many great books are out there, I wouldn't recommend it. I didn't find it as boring as many of the reviewers did it seems. My main annoyances with the book where the letter from Hasina- they read like broken English when obviously the letters would have been in Bangladeshi -if she was trying to make her come off as uneducated she went about it completely wrong. Also, I found Karim to be totally unappealing and didn't really understand her draw to them (even her physical description of him didn't seem all that appealing).
