 Hello everybody, E here back again with another book review today. We are talking about Coulson white heads the underground railroad. I buddy read this with Jen Bernadini. She's gonna be up here somewhere and once she goes away JB Taylor of Taylor talks is going to be up there also One of us didn't like this as much as the other two. I think I enjoyed it the most I blew right through this even though one of the first one that didn't care too much for it beat me to the end But I don't know if that was because they were in a hurry to finish it Just get it out of the way or what but I know I enjoyed it from the first page to the last page And one of the main reasons is this dude can write his ass off. I was impressed with how This is literary fiction It is not magical realism Which I thought it was And usually in literary fiction you don't find in a con and an economy of words You don't use you see a lot of Fluid detail the only other literary author that I've read personally now I'm sure there's others, but that I've read personally is that has such a Succinct such as stark style is Jesmin Ward Now when I say that that there's an economy of words I do not mean that it is simplistic it is not simplistic whatsoever It's just that every single word feels like it has been chosen perfectly This is not historically accurate I will tell you that but Colson Whitehead He said that it isn't and the reason for that is he wanted to include all of the Travesties and all of the horrors and everything that African-Americans have gone through since the days of you know slavery even before it starts It starts off in Africa with you know them being put on boats and brought over here It's heartbreaking, but there's a certain There's a certain lack of attention to detail when it comes to the atrocities that happen that I actually Appreciated to an extent he tells it very bluntly Somebody this happened to this person this way and we're moving on There's some characters in here that seem like they are important And then they are just tossed off to the side the way I took that to mean it was just like back then You never know you never they never knew who was going to die They never knew who they were gonna be separated from and it was just a terrible horrible experience that was so Uncertain and so unsettling this book really affected me. I appreciated every single page of it I'm gonna give it five stars. So, um, please go check out Jen's and JB's videos also, but until next time I have any you've and you there's been another book review I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye You
