annarella 's review for:

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
5.0

Even if I'm the mood for summer light read once I started this book I couldn't put it down.
It's hard to find the right words to describes how I felt, those that come to my mind are powerful and enthralling.
It's like being punched and loving it, Loving the amazing style of writing, the excellent character development and the plot that is enthralling, moving and formidable at the same time.
This is one the best book I read in a long time.
There are books that you can classify 5 stars because they were funny, engrossing or well written. This is a book I would rate 10 stars because it transcends every possible classification except you-must-read-it.
It's not a strongly recommended, it's a you-must-read-it type of book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
