Fantastic book, probably one of my Top 5 of all time. The story flowed really well, and I never wanted to put it down. The characters are fantastic, and I can't wait to see how they're portrayed in the movie next year. I think a lot of people who grew up in the 80s & 90s, like me, don't realize how recent the civil right movement was, and this really put it into perspective. I would definitely recommend!
