Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

5.0

My first book I needed to read for my first ever college class, even though it is my second class of the day. This story was more than powerful and I am upset and disappointed that I never had to read it for school or picked it myself. An intense tale of life as a slave and an eye opener because in school all they really tell you is slavery was bad, but they don't give you the specifics. They don't tell you a slave holder in Maryland was just as brutal as one in Georgia, or the extreme levels of psychological warfare used against slaves to make them think slavery is best for them. A truly disturbing and powerful narrative.
