Customer Reviews

compelling, grim but compassionate

I raced through Boombox to its inexorable conclusion, pulled along by the skillful plotting and by the disparate but believable people in the four households. Given the sympathy Cohen extends to all his characters, one hopes that they will transcend their racial boundaries. That they don't, however, is probably more realistic.
