I liked "The Underground Railroad" by Colson Whitehead. Moreover, I even recommended it to my friends. Of course, this is not a novelty, but this year, I was most impressed by character boo radley from the novel, namely, "To Kill a Mockingbird." I could not tear myself away, but the struggle with society is described in general as incredible. It is true that some books fall into our hands at the wrong time, but I am glad that in my case everything worked out so well. |
