Present conflict, but too lengthy
The book "Tortilla Curtain" deals with an interesting conflict between immigrants and upper middle class-Americans, but it is written in a boring way, because there are too many details and the story is too long. It has no real climax or structure and because of that, the story seems to be endless. Another aspect is that the plot is exaggerated and surrealistic, although the depiction of two completely different worlds is very good.All in all it is difficult for the reader to see the whole context, because of too many unimportant details.
