Bread and Roses, Too

Bread and Roses, Too by Katherine Paterson

I must say that I was disappointed by this book. It's about the "Bread and Roses" strike at the Lawrence, Mass., textile mills in the early 20th century. It should be an inspirational story, but this book make it so bland and cliched. We never really learn what it was like to work in the mills. The characters are all caricatures. And the ending is so darn neat and tidy. Lame.
