Summary: A dramtic look into total darkness
Review: When it comes to understanding what the slaves went through and the world from thier perspective, this book is totally enlightening. This is the voice of the slaves that went unheard. It is written in a manner easy to read and simple. Yet, the actual content is hard to read and not simple. It is a drak journey through the life of a slave who found freedom and lived to write about it. Despite the arguments concerning who wrote this book and about the possible censorship of it, it is still a worthy depiction and story to read.
It is hard to read this text without feeling angry and dissappointed at white people (I am one), angry at Christians (I am one), and sad for history. This text is an emotional rollercoaster. You gain apprecaition for men like Douglass and despair for human ignorance.
No matter what, this is a book that my own children shall be forced to read before they graduate from high school. After reading this book, and Victor Frankl's book, most normal people ought to interact in this world far different from the monster antagonists presented in each of the texts. As for me, I learned a lot and shall never recover.
