James by Percival Everett

adventurous dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

The reimagined story was much better, and better to read at Huckleberry Finn is for a lower reading level.

This is emotional and sad and desperate
