The beginning isn't slow, but the incredible third, last part feels like a speeding train in comparison. Action-movie action!

A scathing, poignant, and honest portrayal of slavery in the US.

So beautifully written and important. If The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is still required reading in schools, then this should follow. I got a copy of the audio version and thought the narration was superb.

It was a blessing and a curse to read the source material right before this.
The steady divergence over the course of the book from Mark Twain’s work was so well done. The storyline evolves into a new entity entirely while the carefree atmosphere of Huckleberry Finn diminishes over time. So subtle but it really took the book to a new level for me.
Books that get five stars from me often include one of the following: it made me cry, there is a fire romance plotline, a sick final act twist, and last but certainly not least.. revenge. Guess.
