Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave by Frederick Douglass

5.0

I wanted to read this because it was mentioned so lovingly in another book I recently read [b:Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You|52220686|Stamped Racism, Antiracism, and You|Jason Reynolds|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568739320l/52220686._SX50_SY75_.jpg|73010857] by Jason Reynolds. I was ready to learn more about Frederick Douglass and slavery in general, but i was not ready for the effortlessly beautiful writing. Is it weird that I found this book beautiful when so much of it was about the abhorrent treatment of humans? I hope not. Really though, I just couldn't put this book down, and I can easily see myself coming back to it and reading it again. Which may not sound like much, but I rarely reread books.
