Title: great 1st chptr, terrible 160 pages or so, good last few pgs
Review: this book is WEAK. a cool story but written with a formula we already know; the reader always feels ahead of the game... and it becomes unbearable. It's an easy read, accessible to younger and infrequent readers and even might facilitate some good discussion, but it's nothin' to write home about. Examples of strong, proud and heroic, african americans are plentiful in our history, with voices worth listening to, so skip this glossy, over-simplified, book for something true and well-written.
