5 STAR REVIEW
Fascinating
Mark Shaiken's legal thriller 'Unfair Discrimination' is an excellent take on today's 'hot-button topic' of prejudice and white supremacy. Having used his extensive background in law, Shaiken's expertise brings to life a politically charged drama that shines brightly the light of ignorance and archaic mindset plaguing portions of society still to this day. The novel's opening barnyard meeting creates the White Nationalist mindset of the lead character, Woodie Clark, and his expectations when an injustice occurs. It is then through legal wrangling's the likes of which Woodie experiences that do not align with his racist thinking that moves the story along. The characters are fleshed out so that the reader can pigeonhole their thinking, at times garnering them sympathy as to their narrow thinking. The story is one that sets the reader on edge from the get-go, knowing how such thinking in this day and age would simply not go, and increases from there. As a legal drama, it is well crafted and terse; the narrative shift did everything to give the reader a 360-degree perspective of the story--especially Woody's hateful and racist disposition. Great story, highly recommended!
