James by Percival Everett

4.5

adventurous challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

---

A take on Huckleberry Finn that will long override the original for me. The perspective of Jim, a slave on the race for freedom for himself and his family, is emotional and educational.
