This is a very important book. Would recommend it anyone. My only criticism (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) is that unless you read it in a short window of time, it's hard to fall back into its rhythm if a few days go by in between reads. Each chapter follows a new albeit linked character from a preceding chapter, so it's more like a series of short stories. Very compelling.
I always read the 1-star reviews of an otherwise highly rated book and I can't help but think they're all written by white people who are not interested in learning. One reviewer labelled this book as full of hate but I could not disagree more.
