Sensational (and cruelly graphic) novel that's relevant today more than ever.
The story takes place during some of the most shameful years in American/world history.
A perfect narration through the consciousness of a salve, examining both hope and reality.

I liked:
- themes of civil right and freedom
- deep dive into the character's thoughts and feelings
- lack of character development (that's the whole point)

Didn't like:
- flow of events
- everything was very predictable


This book can easily pass on as a nonfiction
