Title: Touching but somehow unrealistic
Review: Don't get me wrong. THis is an immensely touching book. Don't be surprised to find yourself reaching for tissues but I find it a tad unrealistic. All the slaves are good and talk "well-educated" and almost all the slavemasters are bad. Now I'm not an American citizen so I wouldn't know but compared to Gone With The Wind I find that I can really picture the darkies there ...right down to the way they speak. And it gives me a better and clearer view of the South. Read it. The end result is up to you.
