This is a wonderful, essential novel for everyone to read. The story is crafted perfectly, building on well-explored themes about coming of age in a racist country and the horrors of the system. The characters jump off the page and develop beautifully, truly feeling like real people. Truly a modern classic that should and likely will be read for generations to come. I highly suggest reading it!

So good I had to give 5.75. Very relatable book. I can relate to Starr the most. A MUST READ NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!!(New favourite book :P) Extremely informative and emotional though. Some hard parts.

Khalil's death causes lots of grief. Some violence from King and his gang. Starr almost dies from a fire(not that bad.)

This book made me feel everything. It made me mad, made me laugh and cry and all out sob. 

It was graphic but damn it needed to be. It needed to paint the picture so people could see the the world Black people have to navigate. 

The characters were beautiful, the development was strong and well paced. I loved every second of this story. The character’s growth, the community support, the familial bonds, all 10/10.

The Hate U Give is a really book about not police brutality, but about racism, protesting and family.

The writing and dialogue in The Hate U Give feels real.</b>I really felt for the characters and the dialogue is authentic. I loved their relationships with each other and how they cared for their neighborhood. They all felt real because of the writing.

A peek into the inner-city neighborhood. I felt like this book gave me a glimpse into inner city life and why things are the way they are. I especially liked what Starr's father said about people leaving, but never coming back. I feel this was the best part about this book.

This book is very important and I'm glad it's getting movie and should be a requirement read for schools.
