The description of this book is grossly misleading. In No way does it relate to or even similar to the hit t.v. show. I could not get past the first few chapters (because of the frequent use of the "n" word) so I skimmed the rest of the book looking for the punch line. I was thinking "this racist mess must be a joke, a spoof, or a parody even?" Nope. Someone actually wrote this book, got it published, and attempted to pass it off as literature.I'm assuming that the author is not a person of color to be able to write this racist, stereotypical BS. It doesn't even come close to being an accurate depiction of African Americans, particularly professional, middle class blacks as the author attempted to portray. The author, through the eyes of the main character, described one African American student as having smelly hair and an odor of fish whiffling around. Moreover, the main character, while having her five year old rinse chemical relaxer from her hair, referred to her children as n@ggers.  The story depicted African Americans as hyper-sexualized, unintelligent, unhygienic, fiscally irresponsible, and all other historically negative stereotypes.Not only were there racist connotations riddled throughout, the story describes an inappropriate sexual relationship between a teacher and student; i.e. pedophilia. I'm open minded and can respect creativity but this story was horrible. I will acknowledge that I did not read the book in its entirety and perhaps my view is narrow. However, there was nothing good or entertaining about this author's presented work. I am in utter disbelief that  this book is available on a worldwide market for mass consumption. Needless to say, I DO NOT Recommend this book. Refund please!
