"Very Interesting"

This was a very insightful novel and I'm so glad that I read it. This book will make you think...BIG TIME.

A Must Read

This was a really great book. It actually got me interested in researching the differences that black people had based on skin color, even in the past. I never knew that these differences were so prevalent even back then. My research has really opened my eyes to a whole new dynamic of the "differences" we feel within our own race. I am of mixed race and have felt a small degree of "racism" from my own people, but I have never felt superior to those of my own ancestry. Again this was a very interesting read.
