Score: Nine points out of ten.
The Hate U Give succeeded where other novels failed. I've read books like this before, but none were as outstanding as this one. I wanted to read this story for a while after seeing it in my recommendations, so I picked it up from a library I went to. When I finally read and finished the narrative, it was spectacular. It's the first five-star read of the year.
I liked that the author allowed me to connect to Starr more as she developed, and I appreciated all the other characters in the fictional composition. They're all realistic and complex. The author explores the themes of racism and injustice well as I could see how people can make subtle racist comments and how they can be in solidarity with each other. The climax is bittersweet as I see crowds protesting over Khalil's death, all while the police do nothing about the culprit. When I closed the final page, it never felt like I left The Hate U Give at all, since that world is, unfortunately, so similar to the one I live in, especially when there are people against injustice in real life. The sneak peek of On the Come Up immediately made me want to read it and other creations from Angie Thomas.

'The Hate U Give' von Angie Thomas ist ein Jugendroman, der 2017 erschienen ist, in einem Jahr, in dem in den USA über zweihundert Schwarze durch Schüsse von Polizisten zu Tode kamen, bei Verkehrskontrollen, Einkäufen im Supermarkt, Spaziergängen durch die eigene Nachbarschaft. Diese gleichwohl schwere wie aktuelle Problematik greift Thomas in ihrem Roman auf und schafft so eine Geschichte, die sich schnell weglesen lässt, die umkompliziert strukturelle Probleme beleuchtet und insgesamt spannend zu lesen ist. Es ist und bleibt aber ein Jugendroman, doch genau das macht es irgendwie leichter, sich mit dieser unfassbar aufwühlenden, wütend machenden Thematik des strukturellen Rassismus zu beschäftigen.
Moderate: Death and Murder
