tangiblereads 's review for:
The Trees
by Percival Everett
I want to give all the stars to this book. It was powerful, significant, deeply satirical, and left me with many emotions. The true nature of racism is definitely a cancer. I once read a book that said racism is a system backed by power. The fact that so many people can be lynched (past and even today by the police) without significant repercussions proves that. Well this book shows retaliation can be a mother as the lynched rise up. I like this book gives real names to so many people brutalized. Also, I think the depiction of Trump was spot on and it also relayed my thought of how so many white people fear black people. Keep fearing if you continue to hold hate in your heart. Great book, well written and entertaining.
