Overall, I liked Tyler Johnson Was Here, the cover is beautiful, and I wanted to read it from the moment I saw it. That's why I recorded what I saw after the party. They've seen officers lift firearms at children, slam them to the ground, and verbally abuse them, with no consequences. This novel really is about the characters. "Clear-eyed, authentic, and heartfelt, Tyler Johnson Was Here is a captivating must-read. Read a contemporary with a picture on the spine.
Tyler is different and similar to him, two sides of the same coin. Seriously how the hell did Marvin not report this behavior to his mother or teacher? Although I've never lost someone in this way, the way the character describes his grief is so real and made me cry. "— Publishers Weekly. This is the story of Marvin trying to know where is brother Tyler is, what happened to him. Overall, a really important read that I highly, highly recommend! Ivy is biracial lesbian and she wants to study in STEM area. "Gripping from the very first scene, Tyler Johnson Was Here is a powerful and vulnerable immersion into the lives of people who are too rarely given a voice. It's my happy place, where I find new books read. Overall score: 4/5 stars. Autumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart; their mothers are still best friends. His love for his brother was mesmerizing. Gr 9 Up—Narrated by 17-year-old Marvin Johnson, this novel gives readers a glimpse into the life and the tragic death of his identical twin Tyler.
"— School Library Journal, starred review. This seemed like a step in the right direction. Marvin's a rather distinct teen who's self-aware, full of self and cultural love/confidence. My issue is that some subplots and little issues or conflicts here and there were not resolved and that irked me. The characters are so bland and the writing is bland. Although some plot points felt contrived, readers will feel the struggle to make sense of how to deal with this issue and find peace when there is no justice. The book is genius for the fact that it will tug the heart strings--but most importantly, it will open your eyes. However, the inclusion of such things rarely serve a purpose in Tyler Johnson Was Here.
Tyler will always be with Marvin and his family and friends, but the closure we got with the ashes was well done. Create a free account to discover what your friends think of this book! A few days later, Tyler's body is found and a video of a police officer shooting and killing him is leaked online. This book reveals about the skin discrimination where all black people are being cornered in the life which is happening even right now in the world. The notion that I should fear them was utterly foreign to me. Marvin realizes his brother has flaws and has gotten himself involved in some things he shouldn't, but he also knows the person Tyler is—he knows him in a way no one else can. I am back with another review, today it is Tyler Johnson Was Here by Jay Coles. You really feel for their mother. They all stand out on their own I think, with their own usefulness, nicknames and what they mean in Marvin's, and by extension, Tyler's life. Marvin grapples with the reality of losing the other half of himself while struggling to get justice for his brother's murder and so many other unarmed teens who are victims of police brutality. Both are poignant takes on real-life issues and both should be read. A situation would happen, you would read about it for a couple pages and then just as quickly, it would be over and we'd have moved onto the next situation that was normally set days or weeks after. Ivy, G-mo and Marvin's friendship is beautiful, they are supportive and caring and I love reading about the three of them. G-mo and Ivy felt like one-note characters, normally talking about girls or their favorite TV show when with Marvin.
I don't really know why I gave this novel 5 stars, to be honest. Because you pretty much know that Tyler dies at some point thanks to the description, you're waiting for that moment while reading the book. It made zero sense to me at all. He often thinks he should do or say more than what he does, so when Tyler dies, he feels a tremendous guilt that he should have done something to help Tyler. "A distressing yet empowering portrait of a black teenager confronting relentless racism, brutality, and tragedy. Cut from much the same cloth as All American Boys, The Hate U Give, and Dear Martin, Tyler Johnson Was Here brings Black Lives Matter to the forefront of YA once again. And through it all, you have to fight. Being a woman of color, I also appreciated the microscopic and macroscopic attention this novel gave to its racial conflicts from the eyes of its protagonist. The change needs to happen but the system won't change until the people demand it and fight for it. VERDICT For fans of All-American Boys and The Hate U Give, this emotion-filled title is a standout debut. I also found it was a little simplistic to make the majority of white people out to be racists and inherently bad (not just the police, but also the MIT rep, who makes it clear Tyler could only get into the school to fill a diversity quota). And then later on they just get a letter in the mail telling them that the police officer is going to trial.
This book is supposed to be about Marvin's brother Tyler, but hey, he's barely in this and doesn't feel like a real presence either. THUG was good for what it was good for, but Tyler Johnson Was Here, is not meant to simply be a good novel--that people can have cups of tea, and quietly argumentative discussions of and over. The whole premise of this book is Important and Needs to be out there in the media, it's just that I am Book Slumping so hard this year and I can't handle poor writing and poor character development. Read it, because it's important, because you want to--don't look to it for comparisons--and that's all. Marvin, on the other hand, is questioning the change and feeling an imbalance in the relationship.
The truth in all it's ugliness. Can't find what you're looking for? And I think it's my time to finally be who I am, who I want to be". And, to really solidify this, there are three badass black women in this novel. I would agree with that assessment, but I don't think that it necessarily made the MC less relatable. Marvin's twin brother Tyler starts hanging out with a gang at school that is selling drugs.
I would have loved if these little details were not left hanging. Bullet points are so much easier! Wow, that was so powerful and eye opening. I called you, Marv, because I know you'll listen and understand and, apparently now, will do whatever is necessary to get your brother back. This book will break you into pieces because of how raw and powerful it is.
While the characters of this novel are generally likable, I absolutely despised the principal. Reading about him watching his mother fall apart, or reading Marvin trying to make sense of his feelings, or his reaction when he finally sees the video of Tyler's final moments. If you want to engage with this topic through fiction some more, here are a couple books I have read and can recommend (as I am sure there are many more that I have not yet read that are really great): Having said all that, I also encourage you to check out some non-fiction books. The love of family and friends. "— Shelf Awareness. "
On a side note, can we please take a moment to appreciate the book cover; it is gorgeous! They were on the verge of growing apart a little bit, but still had that unbreakable bond. I enjoyed this read, but now I'm contemplating giving it 4 stars. I'm glad I finally read this book. In German, there is a saying "Die Polizei - dein Freund und Helfer" (the police - your friend and helper) and I lived by this. The careful prose, the heartbreaking story, but also the triumph of a young man in the face of an often lightless world. I don't think it rushes past anything, I think the grief is handled as realistically as possible. Speaking of weirdness with Marvin, there is also a scene where we have Marvin eating guacamole for the first time, I even went wait there's no Chipotle there? He used to say, like all things in the world, there are good ones and bad ones. Have you guys read this book yet? I liked how the story was told from Marvin's POV, I just wish that there was more word building. Cole's debut novel, based on events in his own life, follows Marvin Johnson, a college-bound senior at Alabama's Sojourner Truth High School. Both deal with black teenagers deciding to protest over these deaths. Marvin and his best friends G-mo and Ivy start looking for him.
I promise to never be silent about things that matter. The novel briefly raises the question "Can oppressed minorities can be racist? I see that at least some of my friends on Goodreads really enjoyed this book, so maybe you will, too. He started hanging out with a tougher crowd and going to parties he wouldn't usually go to. Jay Coles has written an amazing book, I couldn't put it down and breathes through it in just two days, it's a perfectly balanced and great piece of literature. Or they could have just stayed friends. This book definitely gave me a break from all the fantasy and fictional worlds, but man, the story can definitely weigh you down with sadness. Sometimes it's hard to hear people tell us to stay strong.
This is after Tyler is found dead. I just like that it's not aggressive or sensual or any of the typical covers with black teens on the cover. I didn't even get why Marvin was talking about going there since it didn't seem like he was very into school.
