James by Percival Everett by Percival Everett

“This book taught me the power of language and what it can do depending how and when it’s used. Perspectives shift depending on who it’s being used by. Read this.”

“5 stars. Everything he writes is amazing. His wife is also an amazing writer as well.”

“This should be required reading for living in America”

“you know when a book is easy to read but every word and sentence is for a reason, so you force yourself to slow down so you can savor the story and the layers? that's this masterpiece.”

“Incredible and gripping and moving and hard to put down. A reimagining of Huck Finn from Jim’s perspective is an intense reminder of the power of language and narrative. What a beautiful and powerful book. Should be required reading for all high school English classes and maybe for all Americans.”

“I didn't want this book to end, and I can't say that as often as I'd like. In James, Everett revisits the tale of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim...whose experiences as he quests for freedom reveal the profound depths of his character. James is a man of dignity, intelligence, wit, and resilience with the stereotypical portrayal from Huck Finn serving as camouflage against whites. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Literature.”

“This book blew my mind. Huckleberry Finn but from Jim’s POV. Not what you’d imagine - unless you’re Percival Everett and then my god you have one hell of an imagination.”
