“What I have said respecting and against religion, I mean strictly to apply to the slaveholding religion of this land, and with no possible reference to Christianity proper; for, between the Christianity of this land, and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide, that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one, is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity.”
-The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave

i’m not rating it because my personal opinion and enjoyment hs nothing to do with the fact that everyone should read this book or one like it. this history is important for everyone - especially  white folks - to consume as it is so real and informative.
i did read it for school and i’m glad because i would not have otherwise. 
Frederick Douglass was an incredible person with an incredible story.
