A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James

4.0

What a literary WORK. What a cool concept to have a book completely ruled by voice and so fully immersed in the eyes of like 2 dozen characters. This book required dedication to read and it was not for the faint of heart. And I’m not even talking about the gore. I legitimately have not had to concentrate so hard on a book in as long as I can remember, and I even sometimes had to look up plot summaries along the way to make sure I was understanding all the little clues the author was leaving for me.

Definitely worth the read, but boy did reading this feel like a workout for my brain
