Book: Crazy in Alabama

A nice mixture of character, story, and history

This was a pretty good book. It’s a story told from two perspectives: one of a young boy living in Alabama in 1965 and the other of the boy’s aunt at the same time. There’s an element of a coming of age story, there’s a murder, and the civil rights movement is an important part of the story as well. It’s not the best book I’ve ever read, but it was interesting and definitely a unique approach to the subject matter.
