Wow! Once again, Colson Whitehead writes with brilliance! Based on the true story of a Florida reform school, the novel takes us inside the stories of the boys sent to live there in this fictionalized tale. At once devastating and thought provoking, The Nickel Boys kept me reading at a fast and furious pace. It takes talent, which Whitehead has, to expose horrors in a way that is not horrific.
