Negative Positive
Title: Absorbing detail, just way too much of it
Review: I greatly appreciated the absorbing depictions of the everyday life of a slave during this period. It felt believable and engrossing. However, the book should have been half the length. Scenarios, thoughts, daily life details are repeated over and over. By halfway through the book, you will know all you need to know and can stop reading. I wish I had.
