I enjoyed the book overall, but felt some parts dragged on. Good story with memorable characters. Some humor might not sit well with everyone.

Cotton Comes to Harlem is a wild ride! Coffin Ed and Grave Digger are unforgettable. The plot was a bit convoluted at times, but overall, a worthwhile read.

Loved the dark humor! Himes’ writing style is unique. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something different.
Jai Kharb –
A gritty and realistic portrayal of Harlem. The social commentary is spot on, but the violence was a little much for me. Still, a powerful book.
Dev Narang –
Important book that sheds light on the challenges faced by the black community. It’s dated but still relevant. Some language is offensive.
Utkarsh Shukla –
Coffin Ed and Grave Digger kept me hooked. Action-packed, suspenseful, and thought-provoking. A classic for a reason!
Sarthak Arora –
The characters were captivating, and the story moved at a fast pace. It lost me a bit in the middle, but the ending was strong.
Anupama Singh –
Raw and unflinching. Himes doesn’t shy away from showing the harsh realities of Harlem. A must-read for anyone interested in social justice.
