Autobiography written by a kidnapped man turned into a slave over 150 years ago. Solomon Northup wrote better, as a slave that some idiots tried to keep down, than most high school graduates could ever hope to write like today. It's fascinating what he had to go through en route to freeing himself again. We should never forget how we, as Americans, allowed ourselves to get into that type of mess. Great story. All true.
This book was very interesting to really see the time in our history. This made for a great research of the 1800's for many purposes. My only concern was I felt this slave was educated but his writng was a little too advance for that period.
I really wish you ebay guys wouldnt ask this,its so annoying and pointless... but if u must know I need this for history not sure if its a good book and i really dont care.
12 Years a Slave is a very good book. It was well written and told in Solomon's own words about the events that actually happened to him. I think it should be a mandatory read for all people.
good history expierence, if you need it weather it be for your history class or just for personal history expierence.
