The pace of the book is that of your favorite drama TV show. You won’t want to stop until the end

I wasn't expecting the plot of this book to go the way it did: that is, the novel itself wasn't predictable

Dear Martin is exactly what we need in a time where many people in the world just don’t understand why Black people still feel disenfranchised. Dear Martin is a real glimpse into real issues.

I was shocked and pissed off by the way some of the white people behaved towards the black people

I would like to say this book solves the race problem...but it doesn't. What this book does is opens ones eyes to the huge problem. This book opens up conversations between people.

The amount of swearing is absurd. F-bombs galore, kids openly swearing in front of a teacher, who only warns them about language (seriously? my teachers kill us when that stuff happens), and referring to girls as "ho's", is just too much. Yes, I'm aware that more and more kids are talking this way, but wouldn't that mean kids need less of that dialogue in their lives?

Too much foul language. I can’t believe a school allowed the book.

Nonviolence is a set of practical tools that MLK taught in order to cope with the problems presented, but without researching his work its pragmatic suggestions are unseen - allowing his more important theories to be dismissed as “just be better.” This misleading, shallow understanding of MLK is a huge frustration.

I love Jus. He's a wonderful character. His mom is so real, and his teacher Doc is awesome.

DEAR MARTIN is a heartbreaking, important and hard-to-look-away-from story.

Let's listen to the author of the novel Nic Stone and find out why she wrote the novel in the first place.

There is another book by Nic Stone which is a folow up to the Dear Martin novel.
