Anyone that enjoys history; especially of the civil war era; would enjoy this book.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Educational InterestingBy Glenna HendricksGood delivery time. Having watched the movie was interested in reading the book. It is not graphic as some might expect; it alludes to some of the abuses slaves had to endure. It proved to me once again how wrong slavery is and cannot imagine a world where these heinous acts were accepted as the norm. Regardless of the level of abuse by masters; just considering another human being property is wrong. Very good movie as it followed the book pretty well; and book was enlightening also and an easy read too.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Amazing bookBy BobWow --- amazing story which surprisingly the Academy Award winning movie follows quite nicely. What an incredible journey this free man endured after being tricked into leaving his fine life to be sold into slavery. His chilling account of his twelve years as a slave is unforgettable. I went to the movie and then read the book; but it would work just as nicely if you read the book and then went to the movie.Bob O'Connor; Author
