Helpful Score: 2

I can't believe it took me this long to get on board and read this book. I was completely engrossed and couldn't put it down, so I read it in one day. It's a compelling story with original and authentic voices. All of the characters come alive in this book. I think reading this book, too, would have been a different experience had I not been living outside Atlanta for the past 2 and a half years, where race relations and traditions are deeply entrenched and deeply disturbing. The only quibble I have with this book is that it seemed to lack a complete resolution--but maybe that was the point.
