Nothing short of genius. This novel evokes a wide range of emotions - from anger to laughter, sadness to confusion. Although it is a work of fictional horror, it feels scarily close to reality. A must-read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and gripping novel.

Σε συνεπαίρνει σε κάθε του σελίδα... 

...(μερικές μου σκέψεις)...

Κάθε κεφάλαιο σε κρατάει εκεί. Με αγωνία, με θυμό, με θλίψη. Γιατί βλέπεις αυτή τη μεριά των "ανθρώπων" να ζωντανεύει μέσα από τις λέξεις, που, παρά το ότι η ιστορία πρόκειται για μυθοπλασία -βάσει αληθινών όμως γεγονότων-, διαπραγματεύονται μια συνθήκη πέρα για πέρα πραγματική. 
Λυπάμαι που ζούμε σε αυτόν τον κόσμο. 
Χαίρομαι που υπάρχουν άνθρωποι σαν τον Έβερετ. 
Ελπίζω για το μέλλον μας, όσο μπορώ.

This is the weirdest and funniest book about lynching that I've ever read.
