Joe's review

Dec 18, 2016

it was amazing

Before Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad, there was Kindred, a grueling plunge into American slavery with a fantastic twist. One of the great time travel novels, right there with Time and Again and 11/22/63. Aspects of the narrative might be too agonizing for the tender at heart, but I was with it all the way, from first sentence to last.

Allen Huntsman Good novel. I read it last summer. One thing I really learned from this novel is the importance of being honest with one's perception despite how painful or horrifying that perception might be. It sure makes for a more poignant and impactful story.
