I'll probably be reading this one next week. I'm not a big fan of slave narratives either, for some of the same reasons you gave. I'll be interested to see if I like this book. Alyce’s last blog post..Book Giveaway Carnival

I agree that these books can be tough to read, but sometimes we can learn from them. Anna’s last blog post..THE SUBURBAN DRAGON by Garasamo Maccagnone

I love your review. I chuckled when you said "you wanted to smack off the white people." Any book that causes emotional responses is a good one. Kathy’s last blog post..Review: Very Valentine

I’m always so torn by these kinds of books. It is so important to know about slavery and the Holocaust and other horrible things so that we guard against letting them happen again, but on the other hand, these events are so difficult to read about.
