This is the kind of book you want lots of other people to read so you can talk about it. There are so many important ideas in this book. It demands to be discussed.

Inspiring. Educating. Eye-opening. This book has educated me in a lot of ways. Inspired me to be a better me. Opened my eyes to a lot of things that happen to others. Definitely a book that should be read by everyone. Schools would do well to put this book on the lists of books that are required to be read during the schoolyear. We should speak of this subject more often. We should educate each other and ourselves and be the change in this society. Innocent black people are being arrested. Innocent black people are being murdered. Their lives are being taken away from them. Taken away from them by the people that should be protecting them. It’s outrageous and change has to come.

This book made me so mad, and about a dozen other emotions I don't have the capacity to process right now.

An important reading, very relevant and current (unfortunately) that, personally (and even though I could never fully grasp the struggles of African American people in USA society), triggered strong emotions: anger, injustice and disappointment.
I am grateful for these types of literature that shed light on important matters and give me a different perspective on society.
On a side note, I think I would have enjoyed the book better if I hadn't read the summary, as it kind of spoils the plot.

I picked this up on a whim as an ebook on scribd. I was looking for something like THUG, and I’d heard amazing things about Dear Martin. Well... they’re all true!
It didn’t have the same vibe as THUG, but it didn’t have to. It was an amazing and powerful story on its own! All of the characters were well written and they felt real.
Just like THUG, I feel like everyone should read this book. (It isn’t long, so what’s your excuse?)
