I read this book back in high school and still remember it, while most of the other books I read at the time I found rather forgettable. The book made quite an impression and I would recommend it to just about anyone. It is a page turner that keeps the reader fascinated and horrified right until the end, meanwhile providing an inside look at the difficulties that African-Americans faced in the time period between the abolition of slavery and obtaining rights through the civil rights movement.
