The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give, #1)
by
by
The hate you send out into the world... it always comes back.
In this novel we learn the story of "Starr Carter", a young african american girl who lives in the poor and dangerous suburbs of Garden Hights, and one of the only color people in a privileged school. One fateful night, after leaving a party, she and a friend are stopped in a random police vehicle stop. A death will change young Starr's life forever, and, ultimately, the life of everyone in her neighborhood.
A very, very memorable read, with a lot of moments and quotes to remember. A novel that faithfully depictures the vicissitudes of living as an afro-american minority, the racial prejudices, discrimination and the failings of a system designed to create racial injustices.
**** The movie is an very good book-to-film adaptation. As always, differences were noticed and some depth was lost, but even still it keeps a very faithful representation of the book. Amandla Stenberg delivers a very powerful performance, truly remarkable. Little Rue has grown up.

PERSONAL NOTE :
[2017] [454p] [Young Adult] [Highly Recommendable]

El odio que mandás al mundo... siempre vuelve.
En esta novela conocemos la historia de "Starr Carter", una joven afroamericana que vive en los suburbios pobres y peligrosos de Garden Hights, y una de las únicas personas de color en una escuela privilegiada. Una fatídica noche al salir de una fiesta ella y un amigo son detenidos por un control policial. Una muerte cambiará para siempre la vida de Starr, y a la larga, la de todos en su barrio.
Una lectura muy, muy memorable, con muchos momentos y frases para el recuerdo. Una novela que refleja fielmente las vicisitudes de vivir como una minoría afroamericana, los prejucios raciales, la discriminación y las fallas de un sistema diseñado para provocar injusticias sociales.
**** La película es una muy buena adaptación del libro. Como siempre se pierde cierta profundidad y existen algunas diferencias, pero se mantiene muy fiel al espíritu de la obra. Amandla Stenberg hace un papel muy poderoso, realmente destacable. La pequeña Rue ha crecido.

NOTA PERSONAL :
[2017] [454p] [Joven Adulto] [Altamente Recomendable]

Great review! Haven't watched the movie yet - I am always hesitant about adaptions of books I loved - but perhaps I should give it a go

Thank you Maja! The movie is not as good as the book, that's for sure, it almost never is. But I do believe you could like it, or at least it wouldn't disappoint you that much :p
So funny you mention Rue. Just last week when I reread the Hunger games I realized that Rue is Starr
