Starr Carter feels as though she's divided into to selves. There is the Starr she is in her inner-city community and the "Williamson Starr" she is at the private school she attends. At school, she chooses her words and behaviors carefully to avoid being seen as "ghetto." One night, leaving a nei...
Every book that is written has a certain importance on its plot. Whether it is a warning to the world of a certain disease that may wipe out mankind or if it is about standing up against bullying... or even if its about mending a broken heart, most authors clearly or try to pass their own words thro...
I don't know how to feel about this book. It had a good message and the topic is super important. But there was something off-putting about Starr and her attitude. I have an attitude, too, but I don't go around bottling and exploding on others. If she would have just told her classmates what happene...
HOT DAMN THIS BOOK. T H I S B O O K. Summary: "What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?"Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy bala...
This is one of those books I don’t feel the need to review in depth. Many have already done so, and if I forget parts of this book because I didn’t write my impressions down, I will happily read it again. And tell everyone else to read it. Seriously. Go read it. Then go see the movie when it com...
Re-read remarksI re-read this because I am teaching this. My first review stands, but let me add something. Like many teachers, I noticed what my students are doing when I walk into a classroom. Usually, it's everyone looking at thier cell phones. But yesterday, I walked in and most of the class was...
The Hurt U Give (THUG) An important read for younger readers, especially those who have little in common with the characters in this story. It's vital that more people understand the issue of police brutality from the standpoint of those most often in its crosshairs. This book could go a very long w...
A lot of people have already written great reviews of this book. I highly recommend Obsidian Blue's review, which you can find here, as an example of strong review. I'm not going to try to outdo the reviews that have already been written, so think of this as my voice added to the chorus, focused spe...
Another tough review, mostly because this has been written about by so many at this point that I doubt I have anything much to add. This generation's "The Outsiders", The Hate U Give starts with the murder of an unarmed black teen by a jumpy white cop and tells the story of his friend, a teen girl l...
