fhaytham 's review for:

Brother by David Chariandy
4.5
dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was not easy to read, it lets you in on a world different and more stigmatized than most. But the connection, love and hurt felt for each character is strong. The way the author writes is eloquent and powerful and chapters passed quickly. The way Michael speaks about his brother is especially touching.
