Internment

Like many of the reviewers here, I have very mixed feelings about this book. Post 2020 election, this book was a good reminder of the fragility of our democracy and that we are not out of the woods. The topic is something that I consider not far-fetched. However, all too often, it felt forced. We were often told things instead of shown them. The pop culture references didn't really feel natural. The solution to the problem (no spoilers) felt like a betrayal of the entire premise of the book: that injustices happen because good people stay silent. A lot more could have been done with this idea, and I was disappointed by the execution. I had really wanted to use this book for Book Club, but the story telling was just not there.
