challenging funny fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

It's like if one took The Hunger Games, mixed in a full half of relentless The New Jim Crow, and amped up the writing so that one enjoys the act of reading even as one is smacked in the face with the particular Americana prison industrial complex.
