I don’t know if the writing world needs another American Dirt thread, but I got conned by the folks behind this book’s marketing and I’m mad about it, so for whatever it’s worth, here’s some details about how this thing was presented to the world…

When I found out, I rewrote the review. The folks at BookPage had a meeting of their own, and decided they too had been taken for a ride. But they wouldn’t run my new review, because it violates their no-negative-review policy.

As a result, they’ve wiped any trace of the original review from their web site. A somewhat forgettable book that in any other year would have come and gone is now the subject of attention that isn’t being given to countless authors who deserve it more.

And all of this because some publisher decided this book had to be a phenomenon at any cost. I hope these folks are aware of how much long-term damage they’ve done, and I’m sorry I helped them do it.

not supporting the book one bit- but at one point there were 10's of 1000's of undocumented Irish living in the US prior to
#Reagan's amnesty. Of course they didn't have near the same problems as other groups, but they were there. -
I don’t think anyone doubts her husband is Irish and was an undocumented immigrant. I think the issue is conflating that experience that of Hispanic immigrants

book review org has no-neg-review policy seems like a warning that something was up.

That policy sounds problematic. What do you do if you’re sent a book that doesn’t do anything well?
