A review by immabehazzie
12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup

dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.0

This memoir gives a different look, or more, a deeper and more honest look into slavery. During the entirety of reading this memoir, I was disturbed, heartbroken, disgusted, and horrified. There was no holding back about the cruelty that the author and other slaves endured.

This is a very hard read but one that I think is needed.
