The book does not deal or focus nearly as much on the trial as the movie does.

Absolutely.

Booker Prize winner is a book by Marlon James called A Brief History of Seven Killings

[ggw]

I am about a hundred pages into this:



Fluency in patois is helpful but not required.  A steady soundtrack of Studio One comps is a prerequisite (Trojan will do in a pinch).

Definitely fits in with the Booker's move away from "readability" over the last few years.  It's an excellent book, but you have to be really invested in it.

You are against slang but use the words gonna and gotta in your sentence?
