Overall, I enjoyed this book for what it was. Although the book led to a lot of discussions of some pretty heavy themes, it's actually a pretty quick and propulsive read . . . once you get past the much too long and boring Chapter 1. If anything, it sometimes felt too superficial. I felt that the author relied a little too much on "mic drops" and "truth bombs" instead of a well-developed plot.
