Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin

4.0

4.5 stars. i really enjoyed this book. it dealt with a lot of themes that i frankly don’t enjoy reading about, mainly religion, but i still found the family dynamics and their interactions with religion really interesting. i loved the deep dives into each member of the family but i loved the main character john so much and found his conclusion of his journey to be honestly a little disappointing because i loved how he was in the beginning of the book; however, i know this book is semi-autobiographical so this might have been based in truth and i don’t want to speak down on someone’s own experiences. either way this book and james baldwin’s writing will stick with me for a long time, and i’m definitely excited to continue reading more of baldwin’s works.
