5.0

You settle on the floor of Alex Haley's living room, warming yourself by the fire as he tells you the story of this ancestors. It's a slow and lilting voice that conveys the pain, joy, exhilaration, and grief of his forefathers and mothers. I feel that the audio book production gave another layer of significance, since all of these stories were passed by word of mouth.

I enjoyed this book and feel that I have learned and grown from the experiences of Kunta, Kizzy, Chicken George, and Tom.

Although I loved this book, I would not recommend it to everyone. I don't think everyone would appreciate the research, story telling, and subject matter.
