Reread. Listened to some portions of the book while also physically reading it. Love doing rereads bc I’ll remember some things & other parts it will slowly come back to me. It is a rough read bc of the violence that is depreciated but it makes sense. The what if of having an actual railroad underground was interesting bc characters in the book wondering who could have built this with the answer always being who built this country.
