James is a sharp re-imagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told, this time, from the perspective of James, 'Jim'. It is a fantastic read that isn't afraid to confront the realities of Racism and Slavery. However Everett tells this tale with a soft, inquisitive feel that never strays into overbearing or heavy-handed territory.

Whilst I would have liked to have explored some of the more emotional beats a little more thoroughly, I really enjoyed reading this and having never read the Classic from Twain, its something I want to go and read sooner rather than later.

I think Mark Twain would have liked this story. James is a continuation of Huckleberry Finn's story; however, Huck's friend Jim (the slave) is the main character.

Loved it. Audiobook was 5 stars. Had a few issues with the last act, felt a bit rushed. Can't wait to see what Spielberg does with this.
