Book Review of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave: Written by Himself

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Frederick Douglass tells of his life in plain language that illustrates the brutal nature of slavery. I found his narrative easy and enjoyable reading, though upsetting at times. The book is graphic at times about the violence Douglass and others experienced.
