Ultimately, for me Hell of a Book really showed more of what I have never experienced, as far as this depth. The only other comparison I have to what people of color could go through is as a woman, I was taught to not dress a certain way, carry keys in my fingers, tell friends where I am are going on a date, dealing with misogyny, so on and so forth. I think that might be the only way I related on occasion to the multiple examples given. But. It’s just a whole world I’ll never know and I think reading it and trying to understand that hurt, is one small aim from the book in a much larger - seemingly never ending - story.
I recommend this to anyone. It might put something into perspective a little more.

Good blend of both sad and funny beats, with moments that made me laugh and ones that made me tear up. It offers a unique perspective on society, and it has one of the most interesting and bizarre concepts out of any book I've ever read. Recommended!
