The Book Club Kit was a great resource for my book club's Buddy Read. I modified the questions somewhat but it was helpful for organizing what way I wanted to focus discussions.

Pros: I have enjoyed these Penguin Random House book club kits on NetGalley so much. I've read all of the ones available on books I've already read, but this is the first one I've read for a book I've not yet read. I've been seeing Caste everywhere, and think it's topic is so timely and important. I know this is a book I need to read carefully, so I thought reading the discussion questions ahead of time would deepen my reading experience and understanding of this book. Now having read the 25 proposed discussion questions, I feel I have a firm foundation on which to read Caste, and I think it would make a great book club book.

Cons: Unlike the other book club kits I've read, this one does not have any resources in addition to the discussion questions. While I do not think some of the "fun" extra included in other kits would be appropriate for this kit, some extras would be nice, e.g., a Q&A with the author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Library Resources for the opportunity to read this book club kit!

Does the publisher call a couple of pages of questions a book or even a guide? Where is the insight, where is some exploration of the themes? I was grossly disappointed

Caste was a deeply moving book and a very difficult read. I found the prompts in this guide meaningful, and they prompted further thoughts on the subjects. I highly recommend it for book clubs or buddy reads.

The Book Club Kit for Caste by Isabel Wilkerson provides 25 questions for discussion. I found that all of them were very thought-provoking, not surprisingly, since the book itself is very thought-provoking. Unlike some other book club kits, this one did not include an interview with the author, which was a disappointment, but the depth and variety of the questions more than made up for that.

The Book Club Kit for Caste was basically summaries...and while those were very good, I was looking for some discussion questions to use with my book club.

I appreciate Penguin Random House Library Resources for the opportunity to review the kit.

I’d happily recommend then actual book to our stores to stock, and offer this kit for use as we do have a book club, but as something to actually stock/purchase? It just doesn’t seem like something the average customer would buy.

Caste was my favorite nonfiction book I read last year, and I really love these thought-provoking discussion questions about the book. These will be great for my upcoming book club about this book, so we can think more deeply about the topic. This isn't a book that should be glossed over, so I appreciate these questions to help aid in understanding, contemplation, and retention!

This Book Club Guide has 25 questions for discussion to get readers thinking about the book and the truths it presents.

They're great whether you are reading with a group or just looking to take a deeper look at the caste system.
Thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and NetGalley for the advance copy.

These discussion questions were very insightful, and very approachable for all types of readers. A great addition to this title.

I listened to this book on audible so that I could re-listen to certain parts. Having this guide is extremely helpful to use to really grasp all the information learned.

I reviewed the Book Club Kit for Caste. This book club kit only included one element - discussion questions. The discussion questions are thought-provoking and illustrate the key points of the book.

I would have liked to see some other element in this book club kit like an interview with the other or activities for the book club kit.

I have not yet read Caste by Isabel Wilkerson.
This book club kit is the perfect companion to the book. It asks thought provoking questions that let you take a deeper dive into the book.
I think this will definitely enhance the reader's experience with reading Caste!

I'm so grateful to Isabel Wilkerson, Penguin Random House Library Resources, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I made a big mistake by reading the book club kit instead of the book itself. I had just signed up to Net Galley and was too excited with the various books available that I forgot that I should have been more careful before clicking away on a particular title.
I would like to take this positively as I am able to at least see the questions that might appear to me when reading the actual book. There were altogether twenty-five questions and all of them prods the reader to think further on what they have read.
Sometimes I tend to skimp through some parts of a book and questions in the kit would be a reminder of those sections that I might have missed. I may feel they are not important but there must a reason why an author puts them in the book. A continuous thread of the author’s thoughts helps the reader to understand better what the book is trying to convey.
As someone who tends to skip now and then, I have not far to the author. The kit helps me to retrace my steps.

Nice set of questions! We used them for my local book club! I liked how they covered the breadth of the the novel and sparked conversation!

@Thanks NetGalley for this guide to this great book. It was a wonderful experience.
I give 5 stars to this guide

No frills or fruity drink recipes, just detailed, incisive, interesting discussion questions. This will spark some good book groups!

This book really gets to the core of our political and cultural reckoning and us written weak, I've heard a lot about this book and it lived up to the hype. Definitely a book of our times

This Penguin Random House Book Club Kit is such a great idea. However, this one contains only discussion questions. Those are very well selected and poignant; however, it's not enough for me to make a book club kit.

Amazing inspiring and thought provoking questions that are PERFECT for any book club meeting. Highly highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
