This is my third or fourth reading of this American classic. For all its flaws, it holds up

Very very simple. Features a word on every page to describe something in the original work.

This was a hard read. There were points where the story was a bit convoluted but actually much more difficult is the language and attitudes. Not only the racial slurs but the dehumanisation and infantilisation of Black people. If there’s ever a story that needed retelling by a black author it’s this one.
Graphic: Racism, Slavery, and Racial slurs

Yup. I dug this one.
there were a few parts that were hard hitting for me ( about slaves and whatnot) but other than that i enjoyed this book.
