Customer Reviews :

This is by far Boyle's best work yet. He was initially deeply vilified for writing this novel, but as California's political and social climate shifted, and became part of mainstream cognizance the same people who labeled him as 'human garbage' now praise him and this novel for what it suggests about the nature of California's immigration and the vast social connections it makes within the state's culture. By far my favorite novel ever!
