justaguy 's review for:
Twelve Years a Slave
by Solomon Northup
What a story!
In the days before the infamous Civil War...the subject of slavery seems to be somewhat distant. Even to me as a 21st-century person couldn’t believe the reality of slavery. Yet, this terrible journey in the “peculiar institution” brought out on the table. Utterly tragedy! I mean I’m glad that Solomon was able to make it out but thousands of millions of others didn’t...the raw storytelling was raw. I’m not going to pick on the style or writing. The whole point of this is to be raw.
