annacwick 's review for:
12 Years a Slave
by Solomon Northup
Most of this book was incredibly interesting - it is not often that you get a firsthand account from someone who lived through slavery. The author was really able to bring that time to life - the good, the bad, and the very very bad. There were also portions of this book that went into great detail about the logistics of planting and harvesting cotton and sugar cane, as well as creating traps and tools to use on the plantation. This part I found more dry, however if you know the details about how such things are done today, this history might be more interesting to you.
