1º lugar na lista do New York Times. Uma história juvenil repleta de choques de realidade. Um livro contra o racismo em tempos tão cruéis e extremos
Starr aprendeu com os pais, ainda muito nova, como uma pessoa negra deve se comportar na frente de um policial.
Não faça movimentos bruscos.
Deixe sempre as mãos à mostra.
Só fale quando te perguntarem algo.
Seja obediente.
Quando ela e seu amigo, Khalil, são parados por uma viatura, tudo o que Starr espera é que Khalil também conheça essas regras. Um movimento errado, uma suposição e os tiros disparam. De repente o amigo de infância da garota está no chão, coberto de sangue. Morto.
Em luto, indignada com a injustiça tão explícita que presenciou e vivendo em duas realidades tão distintas (durante o dia, estuda numa escola cara, com colegas brancos e muito ricos - no fim da aula, volta para seu …

Quando ela e seu amigo, Khalil, são parados por uma viatura, tudo o que Starr espera é que Khalil também conheça essas regras. Um movimento errado, uma suposição e os tiros disparam. De repente o amigo de infância da garota está no chão, coberto de sangue. Morto.
Em luto, indignada com a injustiça tão explícita que presenciou e vivendo em duas realidades tão distintas (durante o dia, estuda numa escola cara, com colegas brancos e muito ricos - no fim da aula, volta para seu bairro, periférico e negro, um gueto dominado pelas gangues e oprimido pela polícia), Starr precisa descobrir a sua voz. Precisa decidir o que fazer com o triste poder que recebeu ao ser a única testemunha de um crime que pode ter um desfecho tão injusto como seu início.
Acima de tudo Starr precisa fazer a coisa certa.
Angie Thomas, numa narrativa muito dinâmica, divertida, mas ainda assim, direta e firme, fala de racismo de uma forma nova para jovens leitores. Este é um livro que não se pode ignorar. Source: www.record.com.br/livro_sinopse.asp?id_livro=29761

The Hate U Give
5 stars
Absolutely stunning novel that has lost none of its power or urgency this many years after publication. Thomas has crafted a tale that completely holds the reader's attention, and the characters are fully three-dimensional and still manage to surprise the reader. The main character, Starr, goes through some heart-wrenching and painful experiences, and wanting to know how she would handle all that life was throwing at her kept me turning the pages. She demonstrates incredible bravery, and is open and honest about the code-switching dictated by the different parts of her life. The book is bracing and direct about the impact of police brutality on families, witnesses, and neighborhoods like. An astonishing work; the people trying to ban this book should be ashamed of themselves.

Absolutely outstanding book.
16-year old Starr Carter is a black teenager who goes to a white school. One night she is witness to a cop killing her friend Khalil for no reason, and this event changes her whole life.
Absolutely engaging cast of characters, told in a gripping way, wish every teenager read this book. Or anyone really.
I don't have the words to praise this book enough.

The story was excellent and it kept me interested through the end.
I found some of the character development a bit inconsistent. Some characters that I felt played an instrumental part in the life of the main character were a bit underdeveloped.

Incredibly powerful book. For me, this book exemplifies the reasons we read literature: to understand each other. It would be difficult for me to get this experience and understanding any other way. People’s lives are stories; to know them is to know their story.

using the Trayvon Martin case as a template, this is told from the perspective of a girl present at the time of the racially motivated shooting. I did not relate to the writing style and language used by most of the characters but maybe it's best that I think some of them were base, and not deserving of a hero's platform, because that might be the very point: it's still not a valid reason to kill someone.
that said, it's not a good book, yup, it's a bestseller but that's a reaction to the over-the-top brutality and racism of the police force being fictionalized and presented to young readers who NEED to know this sh*t has happened and is happening. it's almost a given that we will care about the issues presented; but a good author makes us care about the characters. isn't that the most important part? the humanizing …
