Book Review of The Tortilla Curtain

The Tortilla Curtain
The Tortilla Curtain
Author: T. C. Boyle
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Seems to be an appropriate topic in these political times. (An "Atlas Shrugged" about immigration issues). Both sides are presented in a way that is not black and white. The universal theme of love, compassion and moral responsibility has to be considered by the reader. The author portrays the individual and not just the race. The dichotomy involved with so many aspects of the political spectrum that illegals are faced with is presented in such a simple and realistic way that I believe will touch and trouble everyone that reads this book.
