    I finished Long Division yesterday, after reading most of it on a plane. I had no idea it existed, but I recognized his name in the airport bookstore and had to pick it up, after loving Heavy. I loved your review, and I can't wait to hear more people talk about it. I feel like I could pick it back up and re-read it already. I've never read anything like it.

    Loved your review. I’m in the exact middle of the book. Loving it so far. I also read Heavy, and agree that the love of language is a thread that runs through all of Kiese’s writing. This is a unique story-I stayed up late, telling myself “just one more chapter” several times!

    work at barnes and noble. Almost done with this book, usually reading it behind the counter when it's slow. Amazing piece!

    thank you so much for this review!! I just finished Long Division and was looking for ways to describe how I felt and when seeking reviews I found this video and your channel. This review is so thoughtful and you articulated so many feelings that I had while reading but was struggling to exactly nail down. Phenomenal review of a phenomenal book!!

    I dont have a lot of time to read, but this book i finished fast because i could not put it down,it was so magnetic. The themes are brilliantly presented and the ending was wow! I can't wait to read more from this author.

    I’d love a continuation conversation on Long Division because the ending has me like 😮‍💨🤔

    I stumbled across “Long Division” back in August or so and I was intrigued by what the book was about and the fact that you had to flip it upside down to read the next part! I had no idea what to expect when I began reading it last month, but I’ve fallen in love with this book! I finished it today and I know that I will have to re-read because some parts left me confused. This was my first read by Kiese and I can’t wait to read the rest of his works! Definitely a masterpiece! Thank you for your review :)

    You convinced me to pick up Kiese’s books.

    You're the reason why I read Heavy and I've recommended that book to friends, brought a copy for a friend, and now I'm buying another. I'll for sure be reading this as well.

    im not going to lie ... i had a hard time w this book and came to youtube looking for perspective abt what i was missing. someone asked me today what i was reading and i literally said, "black people time traveling" and got the strangest look. i think it sums up how i feel abt it ... confused. i appreciated your review and voice and may settle on where this book feels in my spirit as time passes. this is my first KL read.
