A disasterJanuary 20, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bell's attempt to spin a tired concept into an interesting novel fails spectacularly. The "Chronicles" are difficult to read at best, thanks to unnatural dialogue and the constantly preaching Crenshaw. I would not recommend this to anyone.
An Excellent BookJuly 25, 2001 3 out of 11 found this review helpful
This novel is a must read for everyone. Bell presented a funny yet sadly true concept of reality from the past to the present.
Excellent historical perspective and overall analysisMarch 29, 1999 24 out of 28 found this review helpful
This book provides a chilling account of traditional race relations in the United States, and also forces the reader to confront the problems with many of the proposed modern solutions. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever grappled with the issue of race in this country--even if one does not agree with all of Bell's analysis, the level of thought provoking questions and challenges are outstanding!
