The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

3.5

adventurous dark sad tense slow-paced

---

Well written and good story. I liked the fictionalisation of the underground Railroad itself. Different sections of the book definitely stood out above others. The main drawback is that it felt like a very very slow paced read. Although not a long book it seemed to go on for far longer than perhaps was necessary to tell the story.
