Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

5.0

Book 3 of #7in7readathon 2018

4.5 out of 5 stars

Though, this is one of those books that is super hard to rate and review. It is a memoir, deeply personal by definition, addressed to a young black man, to Coates's son. But still, it was offered to me to read and consume and it was a mostly positive experience. There were only a few places where the words seemed a little rambled or disconnected, where Coates's thoughts went in a direction I couldn't follow or that I wasn't sure connected to what he was saying as a whole.

Overall, though, this was moving, thoughtful, emotional and well-written. I really loved the repeated themes of the body, the Dream, and the things that come between the world and the author.

Reading this was a long time coming for me and I'm glad that I finally did!
