I read this book when I was far too young, I was 14 years old! I knew about slavery but the violence shocked my 14 year old self. It took me years before I read another book about the slavesof USA. Even now as an adult I am still sickened by their treatment when I read about it.

Nonostante ci abbia messo ben 10 giorni per leggerlo, nonostante la grammatica un po’ sgrammaticata e gli argomenti affrontati, che sicuramente non agevolano la lettura, il libro mi è piaciuto, forse perché a differenza di altri libri con tema la schiavitù dei popoli africani, questo non si risparmia; crudo, violento, rivoltante e schifoso, ma veritiero.
