As disjointed and incomplete as this sometimes feels, it was still remarkable. For someone who was never formally educated, Douglass is an astounding writer who saw the injustice not only in slavery, whippings, and torture, but in the inability for blacks to be taught to read. Even pre-civil war, the difference in attitude between the north and the south was astounding. Every American should read it to fully understand our past and our present.

This was an interesting read. As a teacher, I think I might use some excerpts from the book in the future.
I liked the book, as I don't ready many biographies, but this was written in simple language, easy to read and Frederick Douglass was obviously a very intelligent man. I learned a lot about the "free men" which I wasn't really aware these existed. I wish there would be a bit more concrete informations on his escape or more concrete informations about his masters, but I guess some other books will be there.

STOP RATING AUTOBIOGRAPHY’S ITS SOMEBODY’S LIFE. WHY ARE YOU RATING HOW ENTERTAINING SOMEBODY’S LIFE IS.
