I did not love the writing. Felt too much like watching a tv show. Felt like the writer wrote it for that.
Loved the idea of the book and the history behind the beginnings of black police. Found those parts really interesting

  "Grim subject but well done" by Booksnthings (see profile) 11/05/19

From the very first chapter it's obvious this is going to be a difficult read. It is full of racial slurs, implied violence, and actual violence. If you can get through it, the rewards are worth it. The story is well written, but it's the characters that make it so good.
