White Teeth A Novel

Apparently it's also a miniseries. I think I should watch that instead.

This book was a multicultural, social commentary whirlwind. The writing is so strong and confident that it swept me up from page one.

This book was a multicultural, social commentary whirlwind. The writing is so strong and confident that it swept me up from page one. It is a bit long and does jump around a bit and has a huge agenda, but it all comes together beautifully in the end. Funny, creative, thought-provoking, clever, and downright exciting at the end, I flew through this book with pleasure. It rips apart the multicultural aura of latter half 20th century Britain, and goes after animal rights and cellular engineering as well. Well drawn characters, a bold and in-your-face writing style, and an intricate plot propel this tale for its 550+ pages. Highly recommended for the right bidder.   hide

Awesome story about people from different cultures, ages, and perspectives. Excellent character details and dialogue.

An unconventional novel which tackles multiculuralism, the immigrant experience, religion, class, history, fate and even genetic research. I will admit that i did like some of characters and there were parts I really enjoyed but for the most part I found it almost too ambitious and the ending hurried.
