This was slightly different than what is was expecting but not all bad. This was actually way easier to read than I thought it would be, and I see a lot of James Weldon Johnson actual music background incorporated in this story.

There were parts of this story that I thought got a little off track, just a few pacing issues. But overall I do believe that this novel is a necessary read for those wanting to read black American classics. However when is comes to the “passing” literature I do believe that other authors have maybe written the narrative better.
