review 1: First of all, this book was extremely short so it took no time at all but I didn't like how this book was written. The racism and racial slurs were awful but it's an eye opener to how life used to be, I don't think anyone is this ignorant anymore but the biggest point is the way they talked and acted and then blamed everyone else for how they were treated. If they would've acted like class and respected themselves and each other, maybe the "white" people would've respected them as well.
