Just so verbose. I don’t need a three-page description of the funeral for a minor character. Some more nuance would be nice, rather than just vignettes of different Black stereotypes. Clearly this came out 75 years ago, though.

An interesting story though a fairly dull. I watched the miniseries as a child and I was terrified. It was so thrilling. Therefore I expected the book to be as gripping. Nevertheless this was a good relaxing read.
