Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the interlocking nature of the stories, and that fact that you sometimes saw the same thing from different perspectives. I'm also just happy that this is a popular book, because it is a tough book at times but gives voice to do many important themes in it's run time.
Graphic: Racism and Rape
Moderate: Suicide attempt

My only disappointment was I felt the epilogue was a little predictable and I wanted more from it, but not sure what.
