's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: ya

When you read a 444 page book in one day bc you can’t put it down. Powerful.

Yeah, I don’t think I can write a review for this one other than to say everyone (of a certain age/maturity) should read this. Poignant, important and timely.

Crumb I want to read this now! YA isn't really my scene, but for this I will make an exception. Especially with all the buzz surrounding it.

Do it!!!

I recommend it! The only thing YA about it is that the main character is 16. It’s all very mature content.

10105 김은하 Thank you for your review, and I totally agree with you! I wasn't able to put the book down until I finished reading this book. I finished reading this book recently because of school assignment, but I was really surprised at the impression it gave me! Also, I thought that I want to have a bravery to speak out and ability to clarify my opinion as Starr did. I didn't have enough courage and ability to talk infront of others for justice. But after reading this book, I think I should work harder to be like Starr. It was a very impressive book and I'm so happy to find out that you felt the same as I did.


10708 송서진 I also agree with you and this book is absolutely amazing in showing remaining racial discrimination in our society. Im a student in Korea and before reading this novel, I thought the problem of racial discrimination is not that serious and I just thought it was a old history. But after reading it, I become much aware of social problems in our society. And I also thought acting against injustice is important at all times. Overall, as you also think, I think it is powerful and inspiring book that lets me think a lot not limited in our school's assignment.
