LitPick Review
Otello is a great soccer player recently recruited to play for a team in an area known to discriminate against black northerners like himself. He meets and soon marries a white pop star, Desmerelda, the daughter of a right-wing politician, which quickly starts a frenzy. Desmerelda and Otello encounter problems because of the media attention. An experienced soccer reporter observes how the media can affect lives, in both good and bad ways.
Opinion:
When I got this book I was excited because I thought it would be a good book. I enjoy sports and the cover made me think it would be something I like. When I started reading it, however, I absolutely hated it. My teacher made me read, and read, and finnally I got it done. It took me much longer to read this book than most books that I read. Towards the end, it started getting really good though and I finished the last 150 pages in just one day. That part of the book almost makes me want to read a sequal, if there is one.
