The story was compelling and touching, although hard to read. I don't like dialogue that tries to imitate an accent or local vernacular. I found it quite distracting. At the core however, is a gut-wrenching expose of life as an unwanted child in a racially divided society. George's insight to the human condition made it worth the heavy slogging to get through this sad sad tale of the futility of trying to better onesself.
