kimb2 's review for:

Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead
3.0
challenging dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I don’t get the feeling that this is Colson Whitehead’s best book, so I’m not giving up on this author, but this was just ok for me.  It’s a character driven story about a man trying to get ahead in a world where the cards are stacked against him.  It has a little crime, a little drama and a little social commentary.
