genuinely disliked this book so much. read it for class and didn’t even finish it properly. idc if it’s historical and shit… let’s read something current where they don’t have the n word on every single page.

i just generally didn’t like the book. i was forced to read it for school and thought it has the most mind-boring plot ever.

Read it for school as I'm sure most people did. It's alright; way shorter than I thought it would be. The writing is good, but it also comes across as a little bit whiney and pessimistic, and it ends up sounding like every other book written and set in that era of time. It's extremely hard to like any of the characters, which might be the point but it made it kind of a slog to read even though it's so short.

This book is boring. The good ending did not make up for the hours I wasted or the violent sexism and racism. Also, dare I say queer baiting? Seriously, John.
