About book Drop (2000)

This book showed me the difference between 3 star books and 4 (or 5 star books) It was a good story, and I am appreciative of the young urban Black intelligent narrator featured in this book. Still the book itself was enjoyable, but not particularly memorable or legendary. My favorite part about the book is that Johnson really pushes the language in his descriptions and characterizations. Sometimes it feels over written, most of the descriptions are awe-inspiring. The book is a great journey, an adult coming-of age, of sorts in which the educated narrator has to wrestle with self-hate, internalized racism, and basically his loathing of the ghettos that he comes from (Philly). A great 21st century journey.
