Vale a pena ler

No início fiquei meio cética em relação a leitura. Confesso que ficava um pouco entediada, até que em um ponto do livro a leitura se toro ou tão interessante e gostosa.
Esse livro descreve e detalha bem a situação e a questão do preconceito.
Questões inimagináveis são retratadas neste livro com muita riqueza de detalhes.
Gostei !
