A review by senquezada29
Heavy by Kiese Laymon

4.0

Laymon is an excellent writer. He is definitely deep and introspective and unafraid to describe in detail his own personal struggles. The book is sprinkled with amazing quotes from both his mother and grandmother who show intelligence that only comes from a lifetime of surviving domestic violence, racism, poverty and addiction. I highly recommend this book. The ending could have been better and it felt as if it was rushed to finish. It could have been more thoroughly developed and tied up some other loose ends, but overall, the book was excellent.
