2.5 stars. I feel like Whitehead wrote this book to call attention to the real-world story of the Florida School for Boys, which is a noble cause, but doesn’t necessarily make for a compelling story. I’ve read a couple of factual accounts of the Florida School’s history and the murders that took place there, and I would recommend doing that instead of reading this book. It’s fine, but after the excellent “The Underground Railroad,” I found it a bit disappointing.
