I liked the book - it was a good summer read. However, I do think the characters are pretty shallow, and it’s not the Profound Statement on American Race Relations that some people I know want to make it out to be.

I probably won’t go see the movie but might catch it on Netflix later. For one thing, Hollywood southern accents always annoy me, especially in this case (I’m from the town - and indeed the neighborhood - where the book is set).
