Should this book stay on the list?

I think this is an important book for anyone to read. I am an older adult and it impacted me.  This is a book for young adults and up. Read it!  Read it!

Definitely keep this book on the list! Another perspective on the diversity of our society and how hard it must be to live in it as a person of color.

I believe everyone should read this book! I’m retired now, but I taught in what was considered an urban high school with a high percentage of students in poverty situations, many with an incarcerated parent, and/or living in high crime/drug activity hot spots. I can speak to the authenticity of the language and emotion here. I spoke about this book with students who read it. We all agreed; it’s an important, timely novel.

It should definitely stay on the list.  Although I don’t think there was anything specific to location and could have been in any urban setting.

Yes 100%!  Especially now that it is being targeted so often by book banning groups.

It should absolutely stay on the list!  I believe this is a book everyone should read from young adult on up!

I have had this on my list to read and I am really glad that I did finally read it.  I think every person in this country should read it.  It should absolutely be on this book list.  I then read her book Concrete Rose which gave you the backstory about the adults.

I guess I will be the odd man out here. I did not care for this book and I think if we are going to deal with the ideals of how huge the conflict between black America and the police force is, Dear Martin by Nic Stone is a much better book. I think the Hate you give was written quickly in the heat of the battle. Dear Martin is much better developed and the characters are more believable.

So no, I don’t believe this book should stay on the list. Dear Martin is a much better representation in my opinion.
