Murderville (The First of a Trilogy)

I Love the book I got done with the first couldnt wait until the second one I am in the middle of the second book I will have something to read while I am having surgerly Thank you Will order the third one this coming friday

I loved the book but i have to give it 3 stars bc i absolutely HATE how it ended . I’m so pissed that’s all i have to say. and I’m not even gonna waste my time with part two

I enjoyed this book but it was sent to me and not my grandson , who got the # 2 book!

I would have given it four stars because although the story line was a bit depressing it was well written and a page turner. However, as a brown skin black woman-as Im sure a lot of their readers are- I found it very offensive w/the authors incessant obsession w/subtly promoting lighter skin or mixed characters as better looking or in a better light than dark or brown skin characters. Liberty one of the main protaganists was held in high esteem for her looks-as it was noted because she was a light skin African and later noted had white genetic make up mixed in there. They also HAD to let us know that another one of the main female characters who was lauded for her beauty had beautiful locs but not the right texture for it. What this does is let us know she doesnt have full on kinky hair so subtly telling us she has some mixed heritage in there as well. Ah ha-no wonder shes beautiful! Both of the most beautiful women in the brothel were not black at all. On the flip side, I can only recall one brown skin woman noted in the book-and she was never described as being pretty but was shamefully dismissed by both men she was in contact with. Also, two dark skin men who were I believe described as being black as tar or something to that effect were in short just evil. As black people we have to be diligent in actively rejecting these subtle or direct notions that somehow if youre mixed youre beautiful and if you just regular ol black folk your beauty is not worth mentioning-if its even believed to be there. It is important. Whether this was intentional or not it still has the same effect-black is not beautiful. And I actively reject it out loud! And its even worse when it comes from our own. They have to be aware of it too. I wont be reading the other two simply because I dont want to unconciously internalize any of that nonsense! Thats more important to me than a decent read.

IF THIS BOOK WAS ANY HOTTER IT WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES. IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOOODDDD. I DONT WRITE MANY REVIEWS SO IF I DO EITHER THE BOOK WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD OR STRAIGHT GARBAGE. PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS BOOK YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.
