Loved it! I couldn't read it fast enough. The premise of the book is not the same as every other thriller on the shelf. The controversy over race issues is what made the book such a compelling read. The author does a fabulous job of making me care about and relate to the protagonist. Definitely a recommended read!

3.5 -- Verbose and a bit of a slog. But a great idea. Really slow at times but I was invested in the characters. I enjoyed it though.


As an afterthought for the ending --
I do not believe those were vitamins.

This was a wild ride and I think everyone should read this book! Parts were hard to read but the short chapters definitely helped. I will be checking out more of his work.
