[...]Although "Railroaded!" is an excellent concept for a novel, [...]It was a very slow read for me; primarily because the author spends too much time telling and not enough time showing. The story reads like a transcript of a trial instead of a creative exploration of the many issues raised in the novel. While I think I understand what the author was trying to accomplish - i.e. write a story featuring a well educated, professional black athlete and role model who is victimized by a corrupt judicial process and racially motivated sexual desires - he employs none of the tools of effective story telling in his efforts to achieve that goal. [...] While I applaud Whitfield for getting his first novel published, I can't recommend it as a must read. Save your money.
