    A powerful story that stayed with me long after I finished reading. The author’s perspective is unique and insightful.

  4. Ved Himanshu Patel

    The novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. I enjoyed the Harlem Renaissance scenes. It felt a bit detached emotionally.

    A moving story! However, it was sometimes hard to follow the narrative. Despite its complexity, I found it to be worthwhile.

  6. Muskan Agarwal

    The book is really well written! The topic is hard to read about. Even so, the history and culture are something to behold.

  7. Aarav Katiyar

    A very complex and interesting topic to write about. There were a lot of characters to follow. Overall, I would recommend.

  8. Pratibha Gupta

    An important book, especially today. I was moved by the protagonist’s struggle. A bit dense at times, requiring close reading.

  9. Shikhar Trivedi

    This book is a good, but can be difficult at times. A bit slow. It has some important points, but it was hard to connect.

  10. Kopal Mittal

    It was a hard book to read. The realities of the protagonist are difficult to accept. A great book for discussions.

  11. Rajat Jain

    Johnson’s exploration of race is masterful. I loved the musical elements. Some of the social commentary felt dated, though.

  12. Krishna Saraf

    James Weldon Johnson captures the internal conflict beautifully. A bit lengthy. The historical context is invaluable.

  13. Abhishek Gargvansi

    It was insightful, but a heavy read. I found myself needing to take breaks. Though provoking novel, a must read for everyone.

  14. Anurag Kapoor

    A thought-provoking read about identity. The prose is beautiful, but I found some parts a bit slow. Overall, a worthwhile experience.
