49. A book about a problem facing society today - Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge (4-stars)


message 398: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #18 (two authors) - Guilty Wives by James Patterson and David Ellis. Guilty Wives by James Patterson. Entertaining, if a bit repetitive. I enjoyed the mystery of the story. The main characters were well-written and complex. And the portrayal of life in prison was pretty accurate - don't for a minute think that similar events don't happen in American prisons every day. Worth reading. 3.5 stars

3/40

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #1 (movie seen first) - Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterley. I am conflicted about this book, so I'm going to separate my review into three categories. For content, this book is amazing. The women discussed in the book were groundbreaking not only for their race but also their gender. For research, this book is well-founded and appears thoroughly vetted. For writing, the author was not up to the task of her research or subjects. Her writing is boring, repetitive, and not cohesive. The timeline she uses is non-linear and leads to her characters being confused between time and space within the narrative. And her forays into the greatness of math and NASA detracts for her characters themselves. The only reason my rating is as high as three stars was for the amazing women the book discusses. The writing alone would be 1.5 stars. Overall, not worth reading. 2.5 stars
