If this is the white liberal man’s idea of social justice I don’t want it.

This book has not aged particularly well and is full of racial slurs and sexism and a lot of random drinking. It took until the 75% mark to get to the actual trial and my patience was very thin by then. For all of these reasons and more, I might not have finished it. But my mom and I were reading it aloud together and I really enjoyed that, as usual. So I would say 2.5 stars, at  best, for the book, 4 stars for the reading experience…

Please check the trigger warnings. The language like many of the characters are racist, sexist, and ableist. Not to mention the horrific nature of the inciting event and presents of the KKK in the book are extremely hard to read/listen to at times.
