A review by jess_mcpeake
The Beautiful Struggle (Adapted for Young Adults) by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
I understand the fact that the language should reflect the reality of the author, but I couldn’t get passed it. I would reread the same sentence 6 times and still not understand. I’m sure I would like the story if it was written in a different style.
Here is random quote so you understand what I mean - “The bad end of a beef was loose teeth and stitches, rarely shock trauma and “Blessed Assurance” ringing the roof of the storefront funeral home.” It felt like the author tried to write every sentence in the most amount of niche slang possible.
