jjjmjjj 's review for:

James by Percival Everett

4.5

adventurous dark funny inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

---

The message that Everett has James write

at the end of chapter 8 is beautiful, and is that sort of paragraph that would grab and stop you any where that it was published. To place it where Everett has placed it is incredible.
