Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, Angie Thomas’s searing debut about an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances addresses issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart, and unflinching honesty. Soon to be a major motion picture from Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions.
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
Angie Thomas was born, raised, and still resides in Jackson, Mississippi. She is a former teen rapper whose greatest accomplishment was having an article about her in Right On! magazine. She holds a BFA in creative writing. The Hate U Give is her first novel. You can find her online at www.angiethomas.com
纯属巧合连续读了两本关于美国种族歧视的书,但这一本在Goodreads有超过30万人读过并得到平均分4.54(满分5分),而且是2018年读者选择奖"优秀中的优秀"获奖作品,早就翘首以待的等着读这本畅销书了。 故事讲的是16岁的黑人女孩Starr出生于贫穷混乱的黑人社区,父母努力送她到白...
评分这本书是在当当网买的纸质书,那时候刚好搞活动,50元5本书。当时有被书名吸引到,这一年来,开始认识到生活的艰难,所以想找一些星光。我好像被生活捶瘪了:没有新鲜事出现在身边,失去发现生活美好的“眼睛”,对很多事情直接预判结果。 书的标题下说:我可以接受生活的一切...
评分在犯罪学里面,有一个很著名的理论,叫“破窗效应”,指环境中的不良现象如果被放任存在,会诱使人们仿效,甚至变本加厉。一扇窗子被打破,如果不及时修好,就会有人去破坏更多窗户,甚至诱发犯罪行为。更简单的例子,就是在一条街上,如果一个人乱丢的垃圾不被清理,那么这条...

评分我的天,真的,有的地方太难看!这个女主人公Starr集齐我最讨厌的女性小说人物特质,当然也有好的品质,我只是就一方面而论。看的还过得去太难看了还过得去真是难看,这种感觉在我心中反反复复。有一部分原因是我听的audiobook 拿着买的原版书,有点学习目的,读的很慢很细,不...
"Thug Life stood for ‘The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody.’”
评分Goodreads 2018精选榜首的小说,细腻而略显冗长的刻画了一个黑人小姑娘从沉默到站出来讨公道再到激烈的参与抗议黑人运动。挺值得一读的小说!
评分"Thug Life stood for ‘The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody.’”
评分"Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right."——剛開始看的時候還很懷疑,但是看到一半就非常佩服了。
评分读完有种在black community 潜伏了一段时间的错觉...也头一次了解到像Star这类人群的双重平行时空式人生。一直对young adult 题材无感,但这本的确值得一读。
