What an interesting and challenging read! It’s the first novel of Colson Whitehead I read and I totally get why his writing style and imaginative plots are so beloved. It took me quite a while to really get into the characters and the moody descriptions of a New York enveloped in spiralling crime, but once I got there, I couldn’t wait to get to the point where the plot reaches its climax. Very riveting and I highlighted a lot of interesting lines and observations.
