It was fine. Entertaining though there were some pacing issues. 

Not sure what to make of a Japanese American author writing Black characters as gang members. 

Not the kind of thing I normally read but it was my book club’s pick for this month. I considered not even finishing it but didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who picked it.
