Cómo habían comentado en la Llama Store (es de dónde viene la recomendación, de la subscripción de su libro al mes) al no saber si un nombre es más tópico para un grupo de personas u otras igual perdemos contexto, pero el fondo del libro es imposible que se te pase por alto.

My only criticisms of this book was the amount of characters becoming too complex to follow when the crimes depicted are supernatural and bizarre enough. Additionally, the writing style was a little aggravating, with "Jim said," "Ed said," etc. after every sentence of dialogue, but try not to let this get in the way of how exciting the story is.

The Trees isn't all humor, though. Not at all. Woven within Everett's laugh-out-loud snarky commentary is a revenge tale that requires the reader to remember thousands of people of color who have been lynched in the United States. And how the preparators of those murders nearly always went unpunished. Ultimately, The Trees is a compelling novel about reckoning with the continuing legacy of racial hatred in this country.
