It made me feel like I was inside the book. That I was the doe

Easy read, guilty pleasure.

I like this book

It talked about history of the doughnuts and the evolution of it too. Doughnuts were not always ring shaped, they were like a ball then turned ring shaped.

The book was okay. It was very motivative. And inspired me a little bit.

This book NEEDS to be required reading for everyone. Jason Reynolds truly has a gift with words as evidenced in many of his books, but never so much as this book. He has (with the help and full blessing of the author) taken a 600 page history book for adults called Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi and created an approachable version for young people of today. I listened to this on audio, narrated by Jason Reynolds himself. It serves as a nice introduction and overview of Kendi's original text, but in no way is this a cliff notes version. Instead, it is a groundbreaking and empowering book of its own accord that adds to the understanding of what the original text delivered. It will resonate with you for a long time, no matter your age or race.

Fabulous book that is perfect for this challenging time. This is a history of some of humanities worst diseases and plagues told with insightful facts, and oddly enough, humor. Sounds horrible, but let me tell you- it was EXACTLY what I needed to read right now. Seeing the mistakes (and triumphs) of our past, helps us to understand our current day situation and how we might tackle this current pandemic. *This book was written a few years ago so there is no mention of COVID-19, only the warning that another plague is bound to happen eventually.

Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I listened to the audio and found it incredibly touching and humorous at times.
