Supermarket by Bobby Hall
3.0
*Book Club Read* (August 2020)
I found this book interesting. I usually don’t read this type of genre so I was excited that I found this genre interesting. I didn’t realize at first that it was written by rapper Logic, but that gave the book even more bonus points.
Logic wrote this book after “binge reading a few novels in his mid twenties” and it shows. Most writers have been readers their whole lives and then sit down to write a book. This book was most likely published because of Logic’s rapper status. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the shallow writing in Supermarket can be lent to the fact that he is not only a new writer, but a new reader, as well.
The storyline was probably the best part about the book and Logic’s words held more weight because he is someone who struggles with mental illness. The biggest downfall to me was probably the 4th wall being broken at random times. I do not enjoy those types of books, but I endured it to finish the book.
