The Hate U Give



I finished this just after the first of the year.  It was a good read.  I enjoyed the book, but it's hard to say that.  I don't want to say I enjoy it when it tackles such tough topics of racism, oppression and opportunity in our culture and society today.  But at the same time I think it is important to be aware and seek to better understand how life really is for people different from ourselves.  And it is a little easier to do in a novel that personalizes it in place of facts and statistics and research. 

Now, I'm waiting to see the movie.
