| Positive: | Negative: |
| Illuminating on the life of lower classes in the USA | Not particularly exciting characters, story, or plot |
| Thought-provoking on racial differences, and arbitrary superiority and “beauty” | |
| The masterful treatment of tragic themes enriches novel’s wisdom instead of turning it into a melodrama |
