12 Years A Slave is the story of a free Black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. I shudder to think how often this must’ve have occurred during that time. I was happy to learn that at least this individual was made a free man again and reunited with his family but not before having been subjected to horrors and abuse at the hands of violent men for an incredibly long amount of time. It would seem strange to say I enjoyed this book, but it was an interesting read.

I took my time with this book due to its format, the story, and the current situation of violence in the US. Also, I wanted to absorb and analyze as much as I could from Solomon's journey into slavery, and be acquainted with a situation I did not endured, but that sadly happened.
I'm going to take some more time to figure out a rating for this book, even when the structure of it gave me a hard time every once in a while. The story still lingers and that's all I can think of right now.
Ps: If you know of a book talking about this subject in the Dominican Republic please send it my way. Will be fully appreciated.
