Monkeyland by Al Case.
Another word for freedom!
Where to start... I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It starts out with white supremacist terrorists taking over a predominantly black school and holding the hostages for ransom. The school takeover and subsequent callousness of the terrorists actions, however, is merely the backdrop for the books main story, and that is an awakening of personal responsibility on the part of the members of South Central.
A good read. 3*.

This book has gotten many great reviews. It certainly faces challenging topics from today's world head on, such as racism. Unfortunately, I could not get into this book. It seems well written, though not my cup of tea. Thus I have given it 3 stars. I suspect I am the wrong audience for this book.
Thank you NetGalley for this book. This review is of my opinion only.
