A review by reenum
Organ Grinders by Bill Fitzhugh
Did not finish book.
1.0
Pest Control was a thoroughly enjoyable book. This was not.
There was a fundamental problem with this book. I found it hard to care about any of the characters. I thought the evil businessman was too over the top, and the environmental activist to be a whiny and self-loathing wimp. For everyone's info, I could not finish the book.
The story itself was also pretty bad. There was no sense of pacing. There would be pages upon pages in which the main character is describing the woes of his childhood, and then suddenly he goes to collect signatures for a petition. It really hurt the continuity, and as a result, the readability of this book.
I cannot recommend this book. If you want to read something by Fitzhugh, go read Pest Control.
