2.5

This book has not aged particularly well and is full of racial slurs and sexism and a lot of random drinking. It took until the 75% mark to get to the actual trial and my patience was very thin by then. For all of these reasons and more, I might not have finished it. But my mom and I were reading it aloud together and I really enjoyed that, as usual. So I would say 2.5 stars, at  best, for the book, 4 stars for the reading experience…
