The character development is superb. These are real people in the real world. We are introduced to the tedious white professor trying to get tenure, his wife and their three bi-racial children who range from nerd to wanna be street hustler, and all the multi-faceted characters in their lives. If you like to see the inner workings of the characters minds and how discordant their thoughts are with the reality of a situation, you will love this book.
