Wow. Not only is this book attention grabbing and creates characters so real you can’t help but get sucked into their world it also paints a starkly accurate picture of race in America. Particularly with a message that I believe is most important, it is the responsibility of white allies to talk to other white people about race and the system that benefits us. The author also gives the reader such a real picture that you find reason for empathy in every story, yes even the skinhead. A must read book for every white American.
