This book is not likely to make your feel great about the current state of our society and system of justice. That said, it's a very nicely written and enjoyable book.

The author alternates between examples of how one end of the spectrum of society is punished relentlessly and systematically for trivial things simply because of who they are (or aren't) and the other is encouraged to do anything it pleases with no risk of punishment.

It's sobering to read. It's frequently angering and disheartening to read. But it's also well worth the time and shines light on situations that most of us know exist on some level. Situations that scream for – and deserve – more of our attention.
