Winning this year's Booker Prize (as the first non-English entry) has been the appropriate reward for an excellent book. Congratulations from Switzerland, dear Mr Beatty!

I just read the Sellout and agree with your very concise, well presented review. I agree that it will not be a lot of people's cup of tea. The Sellout is a very intelligently written with lots of witty asides. Many that went over my head. I do not encounter racism so for me lots of the points are interesting rather than "experienced' (sic). I expect people who live with racism will most likely get more out of the book. It's very funny. It's unreal but that doesn't matter. A thought provoking read about racism. I rate it 4.5 stars as when I finished the book I felt that I would definitely reread this book and that I was unlikely to forget it.

Just found your channel. Finally, a KZfaq book reviewer that doesn’t ramble off nonsense and actually edits videos. Thank you!

I just thought of a reading challenge: Reading through your friends goodreads shelves. Yours must hold so many treasures!

I just discovered your channel through chapter stacks and I'm loving everything you have done so far. I love that your reading tastes are so varied and your concise but informative reviews. Excited for more videos from you!

This is an excellent review of a somewhat challenging book. New subscriber.

Applause, Applause, Kudos, Thank you and happy holidays!!

A really great analysis! I need to get to this book, but as usual, I'm about 5 years behind on new releases.

Had I just read the back of the book blurb I would have passed on this book, but your review now has me adding it to my TBR list! Happy Holidays!

Love your book reviews! Looking forward to more in the future. Keep it up!!!

Just read this. Great book. Great review. Read it people before it wins the Booker! And glad to have found another really intelligent book channel!

Your videos are so professional - you are so easy to listen to! Just found your channel and had to subscribe. Hope to keep in touch x

Congrats to Paul Beatty for Man Booker Prize! Great Book Sellout!

English is not my native tounge, so I am struggling heavily with this book. I can see that it is outstanding, but most of the time i just don't understand what's going on. Any advice on how to read a book like this ?

I've seen The Sellout around and I think I'm going to need to pick it up now.

I'm a little embarrassed that it is only today, through a Twitter trend, that I've discovered this incredible poet-writer. My head will be slightly bowed in shame when next I visit my local, public library, but appreciate fate along the way. Thank you for your synopsis of "The Sellout," (which an allotted portion was available on Amazon.com) and for this post.

Due to your stellar review of 'The Sellout'; I'm considering reading it. It seems to align itself with the film 'Manderlay' A rural Alabama plantation wherein slavery persists, roughly 70 years after the American Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/manderlay-2006

Is this a review? or a god-dammed entire book spoiler??? had to stop the video half way through for fear that it was going to give stuff away! Please, stick to critique of writing style and other literary attributes in your reviews, and don't spoil

Paul Beatty did NOT "drop out". He has a degree in Psychology.

Paul Beatty should write Black Vulcan DC Comics movies and comic book. Actually, I have the complete 500 Million dollar ticket selling Black Vulcan story if Paul Beatty asked for it from me in person. No Joke, I'm dead serious.
