katzeball 's review for:

Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley

5.0

Obviously this is a masterpiece, but it also fits into the "multi-generational saga" format for which I have a particular fondness, so I really enjoyed this. Obviously there are parts that are horrific and hard to read, but I'm in awe of the entire novel and everything that went into it. I can't believe I didn't read it until now.
