""Native Son" is a true tragedy - heart-breaking in the telling and beautifully written. So I was sad to find Wright's real-life experiences buried in Uncle Remus dialect, weak narrative, and unknowable (much less likable) characters. It is hard to say that important books are impossible to read."
"It's a little bit difficult to say that I "liked" this book, but I did think that it was good. I only read a few of the stories (I couldn't bear to read all of them, actually): A Bright and Morning Star, Down by the Riverside, and Fire and Cloud. I would advise reading Fire and Cloud left if you want to go through the rest of your day with a shred of faith in the goodness of human beings intact. I don't cry often when I read books, and even less in front of other people, but I think I cried for about 30 minutes straight at the end of A Bright and Morning Star. It's chilling to see how horrible human beings can be to one another, and that racism is such a powerful and evil (these stories would even lead me to say satanic) motivator. Not for the faint of heart."
"As soon as I started reading this book, it felt so important that I couldn't believe I hadn't been made to read it in school. Reading was like being punched in the stomach, but I couldn't put it down."
