It was really good! It's a retelling of Huck Finn from the perspective of his slave "Jim", the titular James. Given this is the start of Black History Month, this seemed like a particularly timely book.

Slavery was imposed on foolish and wise alike. All that mattered was the color of someone's skin. James gives us a learned and wise slave's perspective on a classic of American literature. With his newly granted agency, he is able to change the course of the story, and reach ahead to our own time to offer vital critiques of our nation, which is still stained by these unforgivable crimes (among many others).
