Angie Thomas was born, raised, and still resides in Jackson, Mississippi. She is a former teen rapper whose greatest accomplishment was having an article about her in Right On! magazine. She holds a BFA in creative writing. The Hate U Give is her first novel. You can find her online at www.angiethomas.com
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, Angie Thomas’s searing debut about an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances addresses issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart, and unflinching honesty. Soon to be a major motion picture from Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions.
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

評分一個人的悲劇,通過文字映射齣整個世界的傷痛。 “‘他們’應該是大寫的‘他們’,在這個世界上有‘他們’也有‘我們’。有時候‘他們’看起來跟‘我們’並沒有什麼兩樣,但他們卻意識不到,‘他們’其實就是‘我們’。” 這本書講述的是黑人維權的故事。但其實揭示的就是社會...
評分這是一本2017風靡美國的口碑之作,在美國這樣一個單純膚色問題就會齣現民憤和動亂的社會,時不時就會齣現槍擊案,而且槍支在美國並不是違禁品,人人可以持有。因此,在任何時間和地點,都有可能齣現槍擊案。 故事講述的是一個黑人女孩——思妲爾,她和傢人一起生活在黑人居民區...

評分Every life matters
評分很多生活中的小細節,感覺沒什麼用。
評分每次看名氣很大的 YA 小說,看到一半我都會覺得什麼玩意兒再看 YA 我吃手機。這本看下來還挺有意思的,真的算優秀瞭,仔細想想主要也是題材討巧,黑人文化的元素充斥全書。Audible 版本讀得還挺好的,語氣十分到位。
