The tone of the book isnѓ??t designed to make you comfortable, itѓ??s not here for escapism, its shoving everything in your face. The author isnѓ??t sugar-coating anything for your pleasure. Its like this book is a platform for them to say exactly what they want. Which it is. The writing style had moments of absolute brilliance and then I was skimming through sections.

'Not even ten minutes into class and youѓ??ve got most kids sliding down in their chairs as far as they can go. Just their noses poking over the tops of their desks. Itѓ??s not like the movies where youѓ??ve got a brave Michelle Pfeiffer saving a whole bunch of kids from one collective life fail.'

Iѓ??m not really sure what I think about this book, I donѓ??t feel like itѓ??s a book you can rate. I think it brings up a lot of critical issues that need to be discussed, that people need to stop sweeping under the rug, issues that privileged need to stop blaming the others for. Itѓ??s not an easy read, but maybe thatѓ??s what makes it so important. It doesnѓ??t glorify the ugly, it leaves it all there for you to see.
