Beautifully written. The story and characters were very believable. A heartbreaking story. Starr and Kenya went to a house party hosted by a guy named Darius. Khakil who Starr had known since she was three turned up at the party. A fight occurred at the party so Khalil and Starr left together in his car. A cop pulled Khalil over and forced him out of his car. Khalil was patted down which the cop found nothing, the officer went to check his license & registration. Khalil open the driver's side do...

every single person that doesn't understand the #BlackLivesMatter movement, hell, every person in this world should read this book. That is all.

This book needs to be added to the list of mandatory reading in schools. What a read. Gritty. Gut-wrenching. Her characters were more than believable. I can't say enough about this book.

Americans are not known to be the smartest and most educated people on earth, but surely even they understand that racism is wrong even if its perpetrated by black people. I give this book 2 stars because it’s not a bad read but I found it shockingly racist and I can’t believe that some reviewer would go as far as calling it educational.

a great novel tackling police brutality and racism. i genuinely admired this book so much and it gave me a whole different perspective about the black community and everything they have dealt with for decades .. the book isn’t a real story but it is upsetting that it might as well be, it took me back to how i was feeling in may of 2020 and it was unbearable, couldn’t imagine what it was like for BIPOC.a great read, would recommend.

I read this on the recommendation of a friend following a discussion that we were having about how to make the curriculum in our, predominantly white British, school more diverse. The book, for me, was a real learning process- what I thought I knew about racism in society is just the top of a deeply-toxic iceberg as it turns out. It is something that I have sought to educate myself on for years and this book does serve to show how deeply entrenched the issues still are. I have taught black stude...

I CAN'T BREATHE. This book is every thing I expected and more. I can't stress how much THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE READ. The messages written here are so so so important and it's really distressing how realistic the events told of in this story are, and too many people are in similar situations as Starr which is horrible.Read my full review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Captivating, thoughtful and easy read. So many can relate to this story of loss, fear and finding our voices.

"Starr Carter is a 16-year-old black girl who lives in the fictional, mostly poor black neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends an affluent, predominantly white private school, Williamson Prep. After the police break up a party Starr is attending one weekend, Starr is driven home by her childhood best friend, Khalil. On the way home, (p27)they are stopped by a white police officer. The officer has Khalil, who is black, exit the car; while outside the car, Khalil re-opens the driver-side door...

This was a really great read, a well-told story and so relevant in light of all the recent rioting in Charlottesville. Though pitched at young adults, it should be read also by older adults as it gives such a clear picture of what it is like to grow up in a poor "ghetto" neighbourhood, with frequent gangland shootings and rampant drug dealing. It also teaches many valuable lessons, such as seeing our voices as our greatest weapons and continuing to do right even when things go wrong. The story c...

//TW: Death, ViolenceThe Hate U Give is a wonderful book, highlighting the past and present circumstances, which every black person in the US faces. Although the discriminatory practices are no longer very evident, everyone must thrive to bring about a change in each and every phase of their lives. Summary: The story revolves around Starr, a black girl who saw two of her best friends, Khalil and Natasha die in front of her eyes. Natasha, when she was around ten and Khalil, when she's sixteen. Kh...

The hate u give is such a nice book: first of all it is a good storyline about a black girl who lives two lives: her black-neighbourhood life and her white-school life, and the moment those two lives merge because one of her (black) best friends got shot. Secondly it is also a book with a lot of emotions. The writer describes those emotions so good that I sometimes feel the emotions myself while reading the book. The book reads simple, it has short and strong sentences, what makes the reading of...

The Hate U Give was an incredibly insightful and well written story. Unfortunately the events that occurred could and have happened today in the climate we are living. The author Angie Thomas told the story in the first person of the main character Starr. In her voice you learn about the situation she lives in, the people she loves in her huge extended family and the others that have an influence in her life. I think this is a wonderful book and I would highly recommend it. Not too often I give

Just incredible!! As a white person I can say I’ve learned so much from this book. I’ve been trying to educate myself more about the stuff I didn’t even know was going on. I went from to kill a mockingbird, to the help, to roll of thunder hear my cry, and this is just the best. I’ve never read anything about BLM that’s from my time. I think it’s important for anyone to read. It’s also the first book I’ve used flag stickers on and I’ve flagged so many pages just for teaching me something. I canno...

While the whole topic and its injustice and controversy are intriguing, I did not like the main character and found her reasoning (and obsessions about shoes) irritating. I don't know whether I'll buy the whole book.But even the short sampler shows that racism is a huge problem in this world and that it goes both ways, even though minorities do suffer most in the end.

After reading this book, I realized racism exists in every corner of the world, how we tend to take someone's life so lightly because the person is bad in our eyes, and how we consciously and unconsciously act on our beliefs which is hurtful to other person and yet we think it's okay. And yet we remain silent. This book was an eye-opener even though I live in a different corner of the world.

Whoever you are, please read this book! It will make you laugh out loud, see a different world, understand that part of the world better, warm up your compassionate heart and allow your soul to grow

I cannot wait to read the rest of this book!!

“The hate you give” from Angie Thomas a great book with lots of good elements. When you start reading, you want to finish the book right away. The writing style ensures that you are directly confronted with the subject and that your attention is drawn. Definitely, a book that is worth reading it!First of all, for me, the message of the book is extremely catchy. It is written in such a way that you get dragged into the story and you can easily identify yourself with the main character. Also, the

The Black Lives Matter Movement is probably one of the most well-known social justice movement organizations out there. This book makes you very aware of that and police brutality as Starr witnesses her black friend Khalil, who was not a threat, being shot multiple times by a white cop. The flashbacks Angie Thomas provide gives you background information on Natasha who used to be her best friend until she was killed during a drive by.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is a fulfilling story about a young African American boy getting shot and his young friend telling his story. The book, The Hate U Give starts off with an introduction to Starr at a house party that she was dragged to by her friend Kenya, where later on she witnesses her friend Khalil get shot by a police officer. I personally find this book to be an eye-opener as it unravels the racial inequality Khalil faces after his death. The authors pace of the story in the

More books like this! The demographic of who is reading this also needs to broaden if it did the change that could come from it the understanding.Starr like all of us at one point knows she should use her voice but is scared in part to do so worried of others perceptions of her but I welcomed her voice.The idea that it’s ok to shoot and kill someone because you think they have or because the colour of their skin with fact people make excuses and say well this person did xyz that does not give th...

While reading this book (simply for familiarizing myself with teenage literature in order to be a better prepared English teacher), I found myself cought up by a story that is quite far from my own reality and my own childhood, yet resonating prefectly with the teenage me that is somewhere (yes, still) in there. Though the cultural cues (e.g. Tupac and his lyrics) in the book might be unfamiliar for 15-year-olds today, for me they made the book more authentic, less cliché and added a hook that k...

Personal Response: This book is about a girl named Starr who goes to Williamson High school. She was at a party with her friend and they were leaving and her friend got shot. She is really emotional about it and she started getting questioned by the cops about what happened. But she still thinks about everything that happened. When the funeral comes they find something out that kinda questions everything that Starr said when she was questioned by the cops. When I think of this book I think of th...

The Hate U Give is a great book, it has an engaging plot as well as being educational about real life. It was good how they explained the title in the book "T.H.U.G L.I.F.E". The book shows Starr Carter, the only witness to her best friends murder, and her journey through the grand jury, interviews, protests and riots. The book seems to be about Khalil, the young man who was murdered, you never find out much about him. In an interview Starr talks a bit about who he was but that is all you find o...

The hate you give is a really nice and interesting book. It has many emotional roller coasters.for all you people reading this i really recommend this book if you don't mind much swearing, but still it's a wonderful book. It's about a 16 year old African american girl named Starr carter who ends up going to a white school called Williamson prep. Although Starr is black she has a white boyfriend which is fascinating to me. To me this book shows some racism but in some ways represents one of my fr...
