This book is simply amazing! I absolutely loved it from beginning to end.
I really enjoyed this book. In wake of the South Carolina shooting, this book was medicine for my soul.
I just recently finish reading this book . I could not believe what I was reading it was just great , breath taking and totally awesome.
After hearing so much about this book, I decided to read it for myself. I must admit it was very insightful on some aspects, but I just really couldn't get into the storyline completely or with agreement.
I enjoyed Forty Acres, I thought the concept was very interesting. We had the author Dwayne join us for our book club meeting via Skype.
What can I say about “Forty Acres” by Dwayne Alexander Smith?This is the perplexing question that I keep asking myself as I write this review, because once I finished reading this book all I could say was WOW!!!
Beautifully written, provocative and thought provoking, Forty Acres is a fantastic novel by Dwayne Alexander Smith. A must read.
Pleased. A good book that was well written.
Happy Friday!! Forty acres started out slow for me.
This is the first thriller I have read in a very very long time, and I throughly enjoyed it. The title alone had me curious, and it surpassed my expectations.
I was skeptical at first but the book was written quite well. It was a really good read.
For a plot that explores the possibility of Black Supremacy over whites, only a FEW Black People get to become Masters of white slaves, so this thriller falls apart at the very end when the law catches up with the Black Slave Masters, though two of the main characters escape capture by the authorities, leaving an opening for a sequel!!.
Page turner. A thriller indeed.
Dwayne Alexander Smith's debut, politically charged thriller will certainly, and is intended to, polarize its audience, but as a reader, we are reminded that we have to look deeper because nothing is "as simple as black and white". While most thrillers fall victim to Cold War and back-door politicking tropes, Forty Acres moves beyond this and intellectually interrogates the reader.
I just finished Forty Acres, and a thriller it is. It's hard to believe this is Mr.
