pickSoft pick. Blackman's language is a bit dated (wowza?), The storyline is interesting, sort of a Romeo/Juliet in a segregation/Apartheid society. Drawbacks for this book though is even with the length I didn't feel like I really got close to the main characters, I didn't feel any emotional connection to them. I think it would have had a bigger impact on me when I was younger.
Does anybody know anything about this book? I need motivation to start this one.
#booked2019 ya diverse - A bk i haven't read but have always wanted to and was sat in tbr pile. So far im overwhelmed by the ideas + this quote ' But how many individuals does it take before it's not the individuals who are prejudiced but society itself? ' I will finish tomorrow but wonder why i haven't rd it b4 now. Not sure that YA label necessarily does favours to bks that shld be read by adults yet are incredibly important for yng readers.
pickIch liebe liebe liebe dieses Buch!!!
Ich finde es ist so eine tolle Geschichte! Ich will gar nicht erst versuchen zu beschreiben worum es geht, aus Angst es falsch zu machen 🙊 Ich habe dieses Buch schon vor ein paar Jahren gelesen und habe es inmer noch genau im Kopf. Ich fand den zweiten und dritten Teil zwar überhaupt nicht mehr toll, aber egal. Man kann auch nach dem ersten Buch aufhören. 😂
Dieses Buch verdient viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit! 💕
pickSuggested by a friend. A young adult novel - flips the current world-order, black people are the dominant group and white people are the oppressed. Although formulaic, it does give pause for reflection and has a surprise ending.
