The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0
The Hate U Give stands for THUG. I forgot the full meaning because I read this book a while back. This book is one of my favorite books of all time. Matter of fact this is the book that made me realize I enjoyed reading. When I was reading this book I would always look forward to the end of the day, because that was when I had time. And because of how much I love this book I will give a synopsis of it and some of my honest critiques.
First of all since I love this book I want to talk about what I love so much about it. There are many books that take chapters upon chapters to get to the point where you think you would really want to dedicate your whole time into reading. The Hate U Give is a book that gets to the point in the first chapter. The main story line begins in chapter one if I can recall. In just that little amount of time I already have compassion for all the characters like Khalil and Starr. It really makes you feel in grief for star in the beginning when she talks about all her child hood memories of Khalil.
The second reason why is because all the characters feel so realistic like if they are there right Infront of you. This is one of the only realistic fiction books I have read that really makes me feel that way. We get to know what really is going on in Starr's head and how she is feeling after experiencing the trauma of watching her bestfriend get killed by cops. This book does not fail to capture what police brutality looks like.
I can go on and on about the good things about this book but I want to make room for some of the minor issues about this book. My first one being that it becomes very repetitive in the sense that sometimes you feel like this part of the book had already happened. I understand Starr had to witness her friend die Infront of her face, but I feel like it would have been awesome if Angie could build up the grief that Starr has a little . That's the only bad thing I can say about this amazing book
Thank you for reading and you can check my account for the synopsis of this book!!
