A review by babybirdblogs
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

challenging dark tense

5.0

I finished Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys days ago and as I sit here trying to write this review my mouth is hanging open and i’m still trying to process what i’ve read.

The Nickel Boys is HEAVY, and insightful, and had me taking a whole pile of notes.  At times The Nickel Boys made me laugh, gasp, and in the end made me rethink everything I just read.

At times it made me think of the Shawshank Redemption as well as the documentary Kids for Cash. The rest of Mr. Whitehead’s works have been added to my TBR, and I look forward to the insights and knowledge I gain from them.
