A review by katymaryreads
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I thought that the premise of the underground railroad being a real railway would detract from the realism of this boo, but if anything it made it more harrowing and realistic. A brilliant read, although harrowing and infuriating in many places.
