This book is a must read for all. Especially in the world we’re living in currently, voices of people who have been held down for centuries need to be heard. Starr lifts those voices and rises them high. This should be recommended to everyone, even the ones who will be resistant. A true eyeopener, a revolutionary story for all who are willing to read

Um tema atual, uma escrita com diálogos muito fluida e diversas referências tornam o livro de uma leitura fácil e dinâmica, provocando a todo tempo uma sensação de rapidez no livro. Incrível o modo de detalhamento do ambiente e das personagens que, mesmo sem um cenário descritivo extenso, bem ambienta a história. Necessário e atual.
