Why was this novel hidden for so many years?,
This review is from: Youngblood (Paperback)
A friend recommended this novel to me just recently. It was written in the '50's. John Killens is an excellent writer; he is in the same class as all the Harlem Renissance writers and yet his work is not well known. This novel is daring, epic and extremely moving. Killens ability to show the depth of race relations is stunning. If you care about humanity, read this book!

Great book!,

This review is from: Youngblood (Paperback)
I read this fine novel almost half a century ago, when it was still fresh and new. It impressed me then, and it still does. For a non-American such as myself, it throws a spotlight on to a badly-understood aspect of American society -- so-called race relations and the echoes of slavery. The characters practically leap off the page at you and you laugh and cry with them. A pity it is not better known!

Excellent and Beyond,

This review is from: Youngblood (Paperback)
The author has perfected keeping the reader's attention and maintaining the reader's urge to keep reading from one page to another and from one chapter to another.
