Recenzje

Dividing the manuscript into small chapters allows Gorn to tell a complete and coherent story. Though the massive amount of detail may be overbearing for younger readers, the narrative tone of this book makes it easy to follow, and readers will want to read every page. The inclusion of recent events in which Till's name has been invoked connects past and present generations to the story. Overall, Let the People See provides a comprehensive and well-written account of Till's brief life that can be appreciated by scholars and most general readers.
