This was another book that I kept putting down and grudgingly picking up again over the last 6 months. It took me a rather long time to realize that the reason I was so turned off by it is that every character has one primary emotion: anger. All of their external and internal dialogue was full of anger, frustration and hatred, and who wants to fill their head with that? I don't think I'll bother reading the other T.C. Boyle book we have in the house. I'd rather be happy when reading.
On the other hand, I kept reading this book because it was focused around an ecological debate of preservation vs. conservation. Almost always facinating.
