jizellereads's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 57%

only had to read it for a class and didn't feel the most motivated to read it in its entirety 
challenging emotional inspiring medium-paced
dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

Must read. No review I could write would do it justice

1800's writing is incredibly difficult to read, and very dramatic in description. i'm not sure how much of this can be attributed to douglass himself, honestly

Read out of a sense of duty, but glad I did. It is unfathomable that someone who taught himself to read and write could have produced this insightful analysis--as harmful to the owner as the slave.
