Review of The Hate U Give by Will Gravlin

-

 


        The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is an amazing book. It makes the reader really feel for the characters. The descriptions of things are very detailed and have a lot of imagery even in places the reader may not want to hear all the details. This makes the reader feel like they are in the book because it gives you all the details that you would have if you were experiencing it. Throughout the book there are many places where I felt the same things that the narrator described. In my opinion, the best books always make you feel like you're a part of them and this book does this perfectly.

        It also has an amazing plot with plenty of twists in the story line from the beginning to the end. Whenever it seems like the book might be going down a path that could lead to the end a whole new problem arises and it sends the book in a whole new direction. This comes at a price of being very long. It is 423 pages and I typically like medium length books from around 200-300 pages but although this book is long than I typically like I still enjoyed this book.

Overall I would give this book a 9. It is very good and has everything I like my books to have. The only reason it is not a 10 is the length. I love all the twists in the story line but at some points of the book it feels a little forced and like it could have been shorter and would have been even better. Other than those moments in the book, it felt like a very complete novel and this is why I am giving it a near perfect score.

    Hi Will, I also read this book and also really enjoyed it. I agree on how the narration makes you experience the powerful story through details. I would agree on your rating of 9 as it took 50-100 pages for me to get hooked on it as the first few chapters go in excessive detail imo. Great review!

  Solo  by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess was published on August 1, 2017. Unlike any other book I've read, each page is in poetry style, with each page using poems to explain the story. The book is about a seventeen year named Blade Morrison, who is a musician. His foster mother had died and his rock star father struggles with drugs and addiction with dreams of making a comeback into the music industry. In reality, the only thing Blade shares with his father, Rutherford Morrison, is his passion for music. Blade has a girlfriend named Chapel, but her parents forbidden their relationship with assumptions of Blade becoming just like his father. Eventually Blade is faced with the realizations that he may lose Chapel forever, and the long-held family secret that his sister, Storm, has kept for so long and leaves him questioning if everything is true. The only thing that could save Blade from these disastrous events happening was a letter and a ticket to Ghana; which could either b

It is an exceptional book that I personally would recommend you read. 9/10
