If I saw this at the library, I will most likely not pick it up, but because I had to do a novel study on it, I realized that this novel was completely not how I expected it to be! It had many literary devices and terms, so I sure learned a lot from it. Trust me, this is worth the read if you want to enhance your vocabulary. WARNING: there are a few vulgar words written in the novel. Rating: 9/10
I read this book as well! I loved it! It contained a great message about racism and discrimination. This novel probably contains one of the best messages that I have ever learned about!
