Title: Interesting topic but very dry and pretentious writing style
Product review: As important as the topic of slavery is to America's shameful historical past, I found this book a particularly dry read. The facts are there and the subject was of great interest. I just wish however that the author had used a more accessible writing style. I slogged my way through to the end of the book; but it was was certainly not a page turner. Rather it was almost an excruciating task. I read many books on history and especially American history. What could have been a fascinating book was for me one of the most boring reads on the subject.
