The Nickel Boys

I knew nothing about the true events on which this book is based until after the book came out and I’m so glad Whitehead decided to write it.

This book was well written, and yet I still have a hard time identifying why I didn’t like it.

I did enjoy this book, but it didn’t quite live up to the very high expectations that had been set for me.

I enjoyed this audiobook, but a friend pointed out its problems for me.

This book is fascinating, but I think it helped me understand part of why Clinton didn’t win the election.

This book has so much to offer. Read it, but don’t listen to the audiobook.

Don’t read this book because it’s written by a celebrity. Read it because the stories are a delightful escape from reality.

These stories run the gamut from funny to sad to creepy and some are a mix of all three. I loved every one of them.

Before you go seeking revenge, make sure you’re certain you’re going after the right person… and that you can live with yourself.

I’M FINALLY ON THE N. K. JEMISIN BANDWAGON!
