lrjohnson13 's review for:

Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup
4.0

Note: Read for book club at work.

Being forced into slavery for twelve years after being free is the fate suffered by Solomon Northup. A true story of the trials and tribulations faced by a slave in New Orleans.

I liked this book a lot better than Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The pacing and way the book was arranged was a lot more interesting and I thought the arrangement made the book that much more powerful to read. It was a heartfelt and interesting read.
