kj111 's review for:

Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead

3.0

slow-paced

---

Wanted to read this after loving “Underground Railroad” but found it to have an often confusing and slow-moving plot. Provides a meaningful window into a specific and important time and place, but struggles with one dimensional (at best) female characters. Took three attempts over 2.5 years to finally read the entire book.
