This book doesn't shy from heavy topics, and although it opens with a bland poem, the heady themes pick up right away. The courtroom scene in the first chapter was particularly compelling, but as the excerpt goes on, the story loses some steam. The first person present voice was also a little distracting, though I appreciate the immediacy of the story the author wants to tell.
