James by Percival Everett
4.0
I am… conflicted.
I think I overhyped James for myself after seeing the acclaim it received.
Was it devastating? Yes.
Was I giggling? Yes.
Was I deeply moved? Yes.
Was it easy to read? Yes.
Was it engaging? Yes.
Do I think it’s an important book? Yes.
Did I enjoy the characters? Yes.
Did it make me THINK? Absolutely.
And yet, did it stick the five star landing? Not for me
I wish there was more introspection from James. Those were my favorite parts.
VERY solid 4 stars.
