It's a time travel book, and I have a soft spot for those. This one is no exception.

I feel like the language of any book I read rubs off on me, and that is a minus, since this book takes place among black people and southern Americans, and I don't like the sound or style of that language. Especially since I listened to it in an audio form. But it is what it is.

The characters and the events that take place among the characters are realistic and kind of heartbreaking, yet exuding strength and hopefulness. It is a bit on the dark and violent side, but I don't feel bad after reading it.
