Hey guys, it's Adventure Van here with a blog about the book 'what they found, love on 145th street', a book filled with short stories about living Black on '145th' street. A very small amount it comedic, but the majority is just true. The book has 15 stories, some related, some not. Overall, it was a much less dense and shorter read and I really enjoyed it as a whole.
As much as the book is a collection of stories, they all happen as the same group of people. While time passes and others become the main characters, they still end up being set in the same area, except for the last one. You follow thru tragedy, hope, love, hate, and racism and prejudice, and there's no bias. Some people are jerks, some are nice guys, and as much as skin color is one of the main things, it's clear that the author went to great lengths to keep everything real.
This was a great book to read, and it wasn't as dense as some of the others I've read. I really enjoyed it overall, and the fact that everything got tied up was well done.
That's Adventure Van, signing out.
