This is a powerful, beautiful, painful book.

I started this back in April but, with all that's been going on in 2020, I had to stop for a while. It's beautifully written, but was just too much.

I picked it back up in late November. I'm so glad I did.

The writing is beautiful. Wilkerson makes her case and drives it home. A searing indictment of caste in America, and how we refuse so often to even see it.

Got a ton out of this.

In my opinion this is the best type of book: Well researched and argued, with plenty to think about whether you agree or disagree with each point.

I already had a ton of respect for Dr. West, and this work confirmed and deepened that sentiment.

The section about an argument at Harvard in the next-to-last chapter seemed out of place, and it's the only blemish on my opinion.

4.5 stars, rounded up on the tradition of the Calvinist Batman.

Wow. A brutal book, but it seems true to the story.

Not much to say, as I don't want to spoil the story. Such a great series, and it's a great ending to the tale.

Sweet and fun. N loves it, and loves taking about the details in the pictures. All the kids think it's a fun story.

If you're looking for a how-to, probably not the book for you. However, gives an interesting insight into how Harris transformed (and is still transforming) his life. Lots of good information, and it's told in an engaging, approachable, and pretty funny style.

I thought I had read this in high school. If I did, I apparently forgot large sections of the plot. The first King novel I've read in a very long time.

Similar to the Bosch stories, but different enough to be interesting. I'm hoping she just doens't turn out to be a younger, female Bosch.

Not the best, but still very good.
