“I Can Read You Like A Book”

Book Club

Reviews

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, was selected by the Unified Efforts, Inc., Out of School Time 2020 Creative Writing Cohort for their summer project. Special thanks to student Kamal Quickley for the naming of our first book club, and Ed and Ann Berlin, for providing each student with a personal copy.

Kamal Quickley said: “I loved the way Starr stood up for what she believed, even though she was told not to, because others would have thought of her being a snitch.”

Alana Swinton said: “ … a bit too much for me.”

Wesley Alexander said: “ I really enjoyed the book … showed what it is like being a Black man in America.”

Kiara Monroe said: “… sad, but interesting.”

Kamille Simmons said: “ … I enjoyed the book and suggested it for my classmates. I thought they, too, would like it as much as I did.”

Rayelle Cato said: “It is an easy read.”

Eldon Clarke, Jr., said: “ I liked it and shared it with my family.”
