Crook Manifesto

Crook Manifesto – Did Not Finish

Start of a bad streak with Colson Whitehead, unfortunately.

I 5-starred The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, but I was deeply unsatisfied with Harlem Shuffle. I hoped Crook Manifesto would be better—especially since its ratings seemed slightly higher—but it turned out to be the same fast-paced, confused nothingness.

I just can't listen to hours of something that doesn’t interest me at all. I’m definitely waiting for better work from this author.
