While the whole topic and its injustice and controversy are intriguing, I did not like the main character and found her reasoning (and obsessions about shoes) irritating. I don't know whether I'll buy the whole book.But even the short sampler shows that racism is a huge problem in this world and that it goes both ways, even though minorities do suffer most in the end.
After reading this book, I realized racism exists in every corner of the world, how we tend to take someone's life so lightly because the person is bad in our eyes, and how we consciously and unconsciously act on our beliefs which is hurtful to other person and yet we think it's okay. And yet we remain silent. This book was an eye-opener even though I live in a different corner of the world.
a great novel tackling police brutality and racism. i genuinely admired this book so much and it gave me a whole different perspective about the black community and everything they have dealt with for decades .. the book isn’t a real story but it is upsetting that it might as well be, it took me back to how i was feeling in may of 2020 and it was unbearable, couldn’t imagine what it was like for BIPOC.a great read, would recommend.
Captivating, thoughtful and easy read. So many can relate to this story of loss, fear and finding our voices.
This was a really great read, a well-told story and so relevant in light of all the recent rioting in Charlottesville. Though pitched at young adults, it should be read also by older adults as it gives such a clear picture of what it is like to grow up in a poor "ghetto" neighbourhood, with frequent gangland shootings and rampant drug dealing. It also teaches many valuable lessons, such as seeing our voices as our greatest weapons and continuing to do right even when things go wrong. The story c...
Just incredible!! As a white person I can say I’ve learned so much from this book. I’ve been trying to educate myself more about the stuff I didn’t even know was going on. I went from to kill a mockingbird, to the help, to roll of thunder hear my cry, and this is just the best. I’ve never read anything about BLM that’s from my time. I think it’s important for anyone to read. It’s also the first book I’ve used flag stickers on and I’ve flagged so many pages just for teaching me something. I canno...
Beautifully written. The story and characters were very believable. A heartbreaking story. Starr and Kenya went to a house party hosted by a guy named Darius. Khakil who Starr had known since she was three turned up at the party. A fight occurred at the party so Khalil and Starr left together in his car. A cop pulled Khalil over and forced him out of his car. Khalil was patted down which the cop found nothing, the officer went to check his license & registration. Khalil open the driver's side do...
Americans are not known to be the smartest and most educated people on earth, but surely even they understand that racism is wrong even if its perpetrated by black people. I give this book 2 stars because it’s not a bad read but I found it shockingly racist and I can’t believe that some reviewer would go as far as calling it educational.
This book needs to be added to the list of mandatory reading in schools. What a read. Gritty. Gut-wrenching. Her characters were more than believable. I can't say enough about this book.
