A review by natetheworld
Native Son by Richard Wright
challenging
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
The defense attorney's monologue at the end of this story may be the best thing I have ever read. The personal responsibility crowd will see this book differently from those of us who understand the complexities of the American experience. 4/5 Stars
