antidietleah 's review for:

The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
3.0

I'm a bit at a loss for how to rate this... I feel like it is important, and a well written piece of literature by all accounts... but it lost me. I struggled to focus, and to 'get it'. Some of the sections were very poignant and others were a miss. At the end, I'm left with a bit of a feeling of 'what was the point'? Parts were definitely interesting and made me think but the overall feeling is a bit whomp whomp. Maybe I'm just not smart enough for this one.
