The story begins with Crenshaw sitting with his friend Geoffrey, enjoying their meal on his birthday, when they noticed that some white dudes are messing with a black guy. Geoffrey shouted at them, and Crenshaw followed him. The white dudes ran away, and they enjoyed their meal talking about how messed up it is in America with racism and stuff, and how they both were fed up with it. Crenshaw went to his apartment after their meal. The next day when Crenshaw is returning home from his train, he gets robbed by some white band dudes who were playing some song. He confronted them, but they denied him, after thinking for some time he knew he couldn't do much about it, so he stayed back. It was not just about the cheap watch they took, it was about his pride and ego as a male.

After that he woke up the other day, starting it fresh, studied for four hours, and finally moved out to visit the garden and relax for a while. There he got into an argument with a fake priest and left from there with anger in his mind. After some days while working, he got into a fight there and was fired from his job. Now he thought that he has had enough of white people, and the only way he can get some peace was by following Islam, but how will it treat him? To know that, you will have to read Fear Me Now: The War Annex by Christopher Williams.

Fear Me Now: The War Annex is a crime thriller novel, having around 200 pages in the PDF that I received. The thing that I liked about it the most is that it has a very common day-to-day language. You'll not be confused by some weird words that you'll have to look up the meaning of occasionally while reading it. The storyline is quite fascinating, and the writing style is pretty interesting as well. The vocabulary is easy too, so anyone can understand it, and it is very well edited as I did not find any grammatical mistakes or typos in it.

It has raised some really serious issues that America was facing during 1993, the year that this book is based on. I really liked how the story felt so relatable to me. I mean, I'm not discriminated by anyone, but the life that Crenshaw is living is somewhat relatable to me. Girlfriend who he can't trust, he has no money, he's a black college student in America in 1993, which makes it even more difficult, he has no true friends, and he doesn't trust anyone. I think many teenagers and young adults will feel related to this book.

The only thing that I didn't like is its profanity level is really high. Like it's just words and how commonly we talk, but portraying it in a book like this is something else. It has erotic scenes as well, but they are not explained in detail. I mean, I don't have objection with it if it has to be there for the story, I'm just pointing it out for anyone who is planning to read it.

I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as it was very well written with a great plot, and I didn't find any grammatical mistakes in it. It does contain some profanity and vulgarity, but you can't do anything about it if it's in there for the story. I would recommend this book to people who like suspense thriller genre. People who are concerned about the social issues in America and all over the world and young adults will also enjoy it as well.

I like that the author used a common day-to-day language. This helps a lot for the reader to better delve into the essence of the book. Thanks for pointing that out.
