James

Very interesting view of an American classic novel taken from the perspective of the less prominent character in Mark Twain’s original. It is not necessary to have read the adventures of huckleberry Finn before starting in James as the author provides enough background - although with a few variations on the original. Enjoyable book and worthwhile reading.

This captivating work of black literature is a must-read for everyone, young and old alike. Its brilliance resonates across generations and invites all minds to explore its profound themes and messages.

After this book I want to read everything by this author. Super read.

Who could retell Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, except Percival Everett, one of America's best novelists ? The story is told from the point of view of the runaway slave (i.e. James) and it makes all the difference, adding a new perspective on this classic narrative. Definitely, it could be said that Everett's novel is the twenty-first century twin to Twain's story. A must-read for who is interested in American literature.

Book well-wrapped and well-received. Thanks and looking forward to read.

Novela apasionante. Primera vez que leía a Everett, a quien no conocía. Supe de él gracias a Piedad Bonet en ABC Cultural. Se ha convertido en mi autor de cabecera. Le han seguido The Trees, Assumption y Dr No. Ahora me acabo de poner con So Much Blue.
