Great book. Tells a beautiful story of how the souths culture was

Riveting, eye-opening, powerful. The ending of this book took my breath away. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good, hard look at how race has played (still plays) a role in the U.S. justice & educational systems.

Interesting Read. I enjoyed this story. It was an interesting page turner.

Amazing. Highly recommend! I had to read this book for school and I REALLY enjoyed it.

The best. I've read six books throughout the summer and this was by far the bet one. Great way to finish my summer reading

A Lesson Before Dying. Great story, really loved the different characters.

An American classic. More powerful and important than Uncle Toms Cabin. The very greatest of Black American literature.

Great book!. I read this book for a Summer Reading assignment. Let me just tell u. This book is worth it.
