JUST DUCKING READ IT

Para su análisis escolar en preparatoria. Cumple espectativas

Libro excelente para comprender los entornos de violencia en los que se desarrollan los jóvenes en algunos contextos.

一気に読める傑作です。アメリカ社会に関するある程度の知識がないと分かりづらい部分もありますが、トータルでは理解できると思います。f**k や s**t などのスラングはほとんど見開きごとに出てきますね（笑）。この本はアメリカの人種差別問題 Black Lives Matter を知るには格好の材料ですが、Young Adult Novel の分野で、よくここまでリアルな内容にしたものだと思います。若い人向けと言うことで、最後はいくらかの希望を持たせる終わり方になっていますが、決してご都合主義の予定調和的な結末にはせず、読者に対する問題提起がされています。映画化もされていて、そちらも素晴らしい。映画と原作ではいくつかの違いがありますが、それぞれの表現の特徴を生かして作っています。黒人コミュニティーの日常生活が丁寧に描かれている点も、この本から学んだことの一つですが、私個人は、主人公が外界と自己の内面との間にズレを抱きながら葛藤して生きていく姿に共感を覚え、そこがこの小説の大きな魅力でした。母親が主人公に語る素敵な言葉があります。“Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.”

Es un libro 10/10, no tengo palabras para describirlo… totalmente recomendado

Amazing book for all ages, it follows the reality of growing up a minority and the even bigger challenges of growing up black in America. 10/10 recommend!P.s. Get ready to cry, become angry (not at Star) and just feel like your accompanying Star in every step of her journey.

La trama te enseña y te mantiene entretenido. Es un buen libro de consciencia sobre la situación de las personas de color que son agredidas por el simple hecho de tener un tono de piel oscuro. El libro llegó en muy buen estado, tal cual se muestra en la imagen con los stickers, debajo de la chaqueta la portada del libro también es de color blanco.

Es muy raro que Amazon envíe en perfecto estado los libros de pasta dura, sabiendo esto me arriesgue y puedo vivir con los daños que tiene pero si son muy especiales con el estado de los libros la verdad no les recomiendo comprar estas ediciones en Amazon.

En cuanto a estética me parece de lo más lindo. Llegó perfecto sin ningún daño y su edición es bastante atractiva.En cuanto a la historia, solo diré que es uno de los libros más profundos que haya leído y está contado de una manera muy simple. No debes morir sin antes haberla leído!

Eis que, na reta final de 2018, eu acabei encontrando um dos livros que mais me impactaram neste ano. O Ódio que Você Semeia era um romance que já estava no meu radar desde o ano passado - mas, devido à alguns contratempos (vocês sabem qual), eu acabei conseguindo ler ele apenas agora, graças à Black Friday (e em uma esperança vã que a adaptação chegasse no Brasil em circuito nacional... Algo que NÃO aconteceu).No livro de estreia de Angie Thomas, nós vamos conhecer Starr, desde a sua vida na periferia de uma cidade americana até a sua vida "dupla" em uma escola particular de maioria branca. Se só isto fosse o ponto de trabalho da autora, já teríamos tantas discussões que o volume continuaria sendo relevante... Mas The Hate U Give vai além, e esta é uma história sobre violência policial, apagamento social e, obviamente, racismo.o ponto de virada, assim como é dito na sinopse, é ela testemunhar o assassinato brutal de um amigo de infância nas mãos de um policial despreparado... E isto vai levantar tantas transformações na vida e no ambiente da protagonista que cada capítulo do livro é um murro na cara em forma de palavras.Mesmo retratando uma realidade americana, o livro possui tantos paralelos sociais com o que acontece aqui no Brasil, aqui no Rio de Janeiro, que chega a ser assustador. Uma das principais feridas expostas na narrativa é como uma população pode se acostumar com as injustiças, com a violência diária, e simplesmente parar de se importar - e isto tocou tanto em mim que entendi por completo o arco pelo qual Starr precisa passar para encontrar sua voz e não se calar.Mesmo sendo um livro com temas tão crus, tão necessários, a autora ainda consegue conduzir tudo de uma forma tão fluida que eu não conseguia largar o livro enquanto ele não terminava. A narrativa sincera empregada aqui não poupa palavras - e isto foi primordial para a credibilidade do texto. Enfim, esta é uma história que te faz refletir, que sacode os seus ombros e te abre os olhos. Não sei se ainda tem quem ainda não conhece esta história, mas se por acaso estiver neste grupo... Por favor, leia. Esta é uma experiência de empatia tão profunda e contudente que poucas obras são capazes de lidar.

This book definitely lives up to all the hype it gets. For that alone it deserves a 5 stars as I found it engaging, authentic with a definite story to tell. For a debut novel especially this is an excellent feat as the writing is poised and displays a felicity for the craft which was refreshing.This is a young adult novel which people need to be aware of. Other than the protagonist being a 16 year old black girl, Ms Thomas employs the first person point of view throughout and keeps the writing simple. Since we see everything from Starr’s POV we can get asides and commentary which set tone for other characters and a lack of detail in other people motivations. Usually this would be an issue but not here - as an example some of my favourite characters were Starr’s momma and Daddy who get the most space in the book after Starr. They speak, fight, flirt with each other, love their family and bicker. But we never get their internal history and motivations. In most cases this would bother me as they are the idealized versions of parents - supportive and engaged where even their bickering is cute and funny. But this makes sense since we are seeing them through a loving daughter eyes. The POV helps here as Ms Thomas can avoid detail and monologues and keep the story clipping along. The parents are the most detailed characters but this is true of most - the boyfriend, the best friends etc. They appear and have personality but this is Starr’s story through and through.Here the narrative techniques of YA help the novel - the personal tone, the young protagonist, the lack of detailed perspectives prevent the story from getting cluttered or, surprisingly, too dour. Despite the subject matter this is an optimistic book. Again the choice of a younger girl who has the love and support of her family allow for this. I found myself rooting for Starr and her drive. In an older character I would have expected more weariness and that drive and passion would have become naiveté. Even incidents like a chapter on the prom and mean girls in high school were additive.I also must commend the environmental details Ms Thomas put into the novel. The internalized understanding that Starr has of poverty, gang violence and racism was both heartbreaking and real. It’s not subtle and Starr explains it a little too much but perhaps it is needed. Be prepared to be bludgeoned - it made me uncomfortable in parts and made me stop and argue on my head for and against but I think that’s the intent. At time’s Ms Thomas seems to be responding to every criticism made against protests again police violence or the racism black Americans face. Also, this is a very American book. The racial experience that Starr faces is American so it takes a little while in the novel to internalize if you’re not American. So, for example, the Asian experience in North America will be different, modes of speech will be different etc. But that’s ok - after a while none of this matters as the story grows into a more universal one about the response to violence and finding the courage to try to change society.Frankly, for all the analysis I could do for the novel, around 40% on the emotional hook caught me and I sped through the rest. I found that the book is more contained in the beginning as Starr is effectively in shock at the shooting and trying to keep a buttoned down attitude. But as the novel progressed the “feels” come and I was swept along. I could speak about the themes about the courage to speak up your truth in the face of fear, which is the part that spoke to me the most and made me choke up but I think the parts which will speak to each person will be different.Highly recommended. Believe the hype; read it as as it gives a small voice to the people whose lives have been lost. Irrespective of race that matters.

A very important YA novel about police violence, inspired by the black lives matter movement. It is also about being a teenager, figuring out one's identity and struggling in a school full of white people when being black. At times heartbreaking, sometimes funny and nice, often hard, definitely needed. Highly recommend to everyone. A book that should be handed to every teen in high school.
