Review title: It Wore Me Out!
Product review: This book became such a tiresome experience! I read a lot (more than most professional book reviewers, I'll bet), and this is one that I'm not exactly sure how it has garnered some of the acclaim it has. It is steady flow of digressions and tangets and ho-hum prose. If I wrote a short story in the same style for a literature class, I would receive a failing grade. The basic plot carries some intrigue, and would probably make an excellent story under different circumstances. But it takes the entire book of 400+ pages to advance a mere 24 hours. Rather than being a book that you can't put down, it is an exercise in reading a book that you would rather put down. I suggest you skip it and read The Known World (Pulitzer prizer winner Edward P. Jones) if you're looking for a moving book that will teach you about slavery.
