jereshkigal 's review for:

Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup

5.0

I saw the movie adaptation when it was out in theatres and wanted to read the book. Since I'm a history buff, I like getting the first hand account of what happened and I also wanted to see in what ways the book differed and/or elaborated on what he went through during this period of his life. I learned a few things I never knew before and, eventually, I want to learn more about this time period and what happened during this period.
