12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup

4.0

---

Such a good powerful story! I think everyone should read it, but the writing style and the fact that the preface spoils some of the story is why I gave it a 4. If you read this skip the preface until the end. It has good info but it spoils too much up front. Be prepared for complicated sentence structure. This is an older book and it can be a bit more challenging, but can definitely do it. Great read.
