review 1: This was an okay book. I started out caring about the characters, but as the book continued I cared less and less. The more I learned, the shallower they seemed to me, even though the backstories were interesting. I finished the book halfheartedly pitying most of them but the plot definitely ended with a whimper and not a bang. I don't feel like it was a waste of time to read - parts were enjoyable, but overall I feel lukewarm about it.
review 2: An easy read and interesting story, but I felt that the writing lacked finesse. It felt like a draft of what would be a good novel with some more work. The use of language is inelegant, and the author often spells out to the reader something that would best be dealt with more subtly. The concepts of the immigrant ex... moreperience and the blending of cultures is interesting, and the story line develops this well (if a bit obviously). However, the books contains a little developed subplot irrelevant to the main plot and themes--referred to once near the beginning then resolved at the end--that I found distracting. less
