Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
challenging
dark
tense
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
5.0
Brilliant. Scathing. Masterful storytelling that will hopefully create more abolishonists.
I could write essays on every character introduced, but I was most int igued by Emily. What her character shows about white womanhood left me nauseous.
We are so close to this horrifying future and I left this book recommitted to abolition.
Very tough read. Definitely in the top 5 I've read all year though.
