Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Finished Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah! A haunting commentary on the American penal system, it’s worth the read. Be warned: it is a heavy read and contains graphic violence, police brutality, and sexual content.

Bleak, raw, and chillingly relevant. Like Parable of the Sower, this dystopian tale hits close to home, pairing a gut-wrenching critique of the prison system with a love story that lingers long after the rushed but impactful ending. #booksky #chaingangallstars

I’m still weeping. #Chaingangallstars
I've tried to read more Black speculative fiction so I know a dystopia when I see it. And also bc I refuse to be gaslit by the deluded, the cowards and the apologists.
Noem's idea for a carceral reality TV competition is literally the premise to #ChainGangAllStars

A satire critical of the prison industrial complex, and the commidification of violence for viewership and tv audiences.
A terrific read.
2/18 and I got another another #BlackHistoryMonth author! #NanaKwameAdjeiBrenyah is phenomenal and #ChainGangAllStars was such good commentary on the prison industrial complex.
Have not been on this app in a minute so we’re playing catch up! Black History month day 9: Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei Brenyah. A hard to read commentary on the prison system and how it affects those incarcerated #blackhistorymonth #booksky #chaingangallstars
The hardcover edition of Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brendan.
I think we may be closer to this book becoming reality than I’d like. If you can handle immersing yourself in these topics right now, I highly recommend this phenomenal read!

New pick up. Finishing up #ChainGangAllStars then going straight to #Bloodmarked before #Oathbound releases next month. #ChildrenOfBloodAndBone #TheBrokenEarthTrilogy
Not fantasy, but #ChainGangAllstars is a special book, highly recommend, audio version is excellent #Books #Reading
Like what an amazing commentary on the prison industrial complex, and so wildly entertaining. I don’t usually read books twice but I might have to read this one again #ChaingangAllstars
I finally finished reading Chain Gang All-Stars, and I cannot stop thinking about it. Probably because I fear we are capable of such barbarism. #ChainGangAllStars

Just finished the book Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah and _wow_. Like many dystopian stories, I can actually see this one coming to pass, and it’s horrifying. For profit prison industry expanding into entertainment? Yep. #books #literature #chaingangallstars
