emotional informative sad slow-paced

4.0

The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

This is a very informative history of America from the perspective of the tribes who lived here first. There’s a heavy focus on genocide and violence and a need for return and reform and reparations. Emotional read.
