Review: The author gives a spot-on portrait of "insider Washington" through the eyes of the children of this privileged group. Engaging, very well written, and thought provoking.
Review: I was psyched to read this with all its hype, but once I put it down (halfway through) I never went back to it. Every bit of the story is stupid cliche that we've been fed a million times about the "elite." Maybe they are this idiotic, sleazy, and self-absorbed, so... we get it.

The Cave Dwellers is easily one of my favorite books this year. The novel chips away at DC’s polished veneer by delving into the lives of characters living on opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum. I grew up in DC, and the depiction of privileged [predominantly white] youth culture is spot-on and hilarious. The juxtaposition of this group’s way of life and that of a young, disadvantaged black man behind bars demonstrates the duality of our nation’s capital. Historical anecdotes seeded throughout the book are also fascinating and provide the reader with a deeper understanding of racial disparities, gender discrimination, the wealth gap, etc. Through her work, McDowell poses questions about politics, class, and culture that we should all take the time to reflect on: What roles do we play in society, and how do our lives affect other people in minute and drastic ways? What, if anything, are we willing to sacrifice to implement change? These questions are especially pertinent as DC, the infamous ‘Chocolate City’, faces rapid gentrification and whitewashing of the dynamic black culture on which it was built. I appreciate all of the research and thought that went into creating this provocative novel.
