Notice that The Coldest Winter Ever made the list. But what about Midnight? Thanks to Shotor this panda has had the pleasure of reading the latest book from the streets, in 3 days mind you. The author's son has been heard to say that the book changed his life. But honestly, the book seems more like an opportunity to rag on black women. Does it seem that way to anyone else? Because I know you all have read it. Don't lie.Additionally the book seems to condone the Sudanese lifestyle, which, while I'll say there is nothing wrong with, seems very odd in that the main character is married by the time he is 14. To a 16-years-young (the protagonist's words, not mine) Japanese girl. She is amazingly fitted; her outfits are described to the most minute detail. Yet, call it panda intuition, I can't help feeling like her Asian-ness is exploited somewhat in with her brilliant artistry, her crazy hooked-up outfits, and the fact that she doesn't speak English.
Here are some photos of the major players from the inside of the book cover:
