Beautifully written. I really appreciate Colson Whiteheadâs writing and I appreciate that this novel gives perspective on the civil rightâs movement.

This book punched me in the gut. Gave me the ol 1, 2. Just when I recovered that ending knocked me flat again.

A slim volume thatâs a punch to the gut. Devastating.

To find out that this is based on a real story of a reform school for the juvenile is betting heartbreaking and appalling. The ending leaves me wanting to know more about the boy who's now a man with his own business.
