I had to read a book for my English class that was written in the same time as Huckleberry Finn. (I was not very excited for this because Huck Finn was not my favorite book at all.) So me and two other girls decided to read this one because we had read snippets of it in class. I'm really glad we read this one :) I learn so much about Mr. Douglass and those time. I never thought that there was this much to learn about something I thought I knew very well. It was a really good book. Way better to read than Huck Finn by far.
