I picked this book up when I went book shopping in the nearest city. The author Colson Whitehead was very unknown to me and it seems he has been very positively received by his readers.

Colson was able to portray a time, that started a long time ago and ended just a few years ago, where kids & teenagers were discriminated, tortured and even killed.
