challenging informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

This book, although talking about difficult topics, was put into a format that was "easy" to consume. It's a great book to get you thinking about the criminal justice system, economic inequality, and society's view on minorities. A quick(ish) read that was extremely interesting and starts discussions on important/modern issues.
