Simple Truth Book

DNF
The simple truth is that this book is so full of racist and sexist stereotypes that I couldn’t get past the first 10%.

Baldacci writing a man: “He was intellectually brilliant. Traditional good looks and just so smart. A legal genius. He knew all the things. Seriously, this guy was super excited intelligent.”

Baldacci writing a woman: “She had a petite figure with good hips and puckered lips. A little voluptuous but not too much. Long flow hair and a charming smile. The kind of girl you’d want on a lonely night....oh yeah, also she was smart.”

Baldacci writing a Black person: “He was a thug and a criminal.”

Baldacci writing a white person: “He was complicated. He committed crimes, but he had his reasons. He had a rough life. But he loved. And he painted sometimes.”
