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.

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.
