Powerfully beautiful writing made more emotional as a love letter to the author's son. I feel honored that Ta-Nehisi Coates allowed me as a reader into his life and beliefs so intimately. 100% recommend the audiobook, to hear his writing in his own voice is incredible.

Worth reading, worth listening to, and worth thinking about. Especially if the topic of race and racism makes you uncomfortable.

I started this on an ebook and had a harder time getting into the book, but when I switched to audio I was completely captivated. The author narrates the audiobook and his voice inflection and cadence add so much to the overall experience. This was a vulnerable look into a private conversation he wrote to his 15-year-old son explaining his self-discovery, realizations, and lessons about what it means to be a Black man in the world. The writing style felt like that of poetry when I was listening. It isn't an easy read, emotionally, but one that will stay with me.
