The 57 Bus: A True Story of Two Teenagers and the Crime That Changed Their Lives by Dashka Slater

dark emotional informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

This book asks a lot of really important questions and demonstrates a lot of deeply complex issues around discrimination within the criminal justice system and society. It's well-researched and respectful, and it does a good job at showing two different sides to criminality. On subject matter and its treatment, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. But I was bored despite this touching on so many of my main interests personally and professionally, so I feel like the pacing needed a lot more work.
