THE 101

Just finished it and I have to say its one of the best books I've read in a long time. It took me ages as well to get into it, like a 100 pages in and the only reason I didn't ditch it was cause I was too broke to by another book. But when I finally got into it I couldn't get enough.
Its defintely a strange read, on the surface its an urban drama but then it morphs into a superhero story. And it was cool how it went from third to first person narration. Defintely a great study of race relations in '70s America, but its not just that, theres real soul in it. The people seem real and there step into adulthood always feels true.
Defintely check it out.
