 This was definitely interesting and I really liked how he combined the broader anti-slavery message with the events of his life, but a lot of the time the book ended up just listing off things that had happened to him.

This was very informative and I think the opening gave a lot of needed context for the rest of the book

While I definitely recognise the importance of this book, because this was read for a university module I felt that it was incredibly slow to get through. However, it was definitely fascinating learning about the slave trade from the perspective of a black man, as these sorts of narratives in this amount of detail are seldom told.

My 15th book finished in 2023.

For the most part, this was incredibly interesting, insightful and sad. But it was hugely bogged down in the middle by chapters of religious nonsense. We get it, you found god.

Other than that, it was an enjoyable read.
