I like the fact that this book is written in poems. The authors style is different than most books, but very clear.
One thing I like about this book is the point of view it gives. It gives a point of view form an african amrican back in the 1800s. If you want to now what our history is read this book.
One think that is amazing about this book is it written in poems and I love that because I am not a very big reader.
