Simple and Poignant
Story of the trials and good fortunes, through hard work and sorrows, to befall an African slave taken to America.
Truly Exciting Book
It was truly an honor to read this book. This is the story of two young men kidnapped from Africa, what happens to them and what they had to go through. Strangely enough it reads like a real story. The research is phenomenal. As you read this piece you find yourself captured in time. It tells us about slavery and the horrors of it all. The story is well written and easy to understand. The characters are well developed. So much so that you even get to empathize with the captain of the slave ship Capt Hannibal. In him we see his struggles. We see the inner fight of doing his job and doing what he knows is right. We watch Manni grow up and how his life unfolds. Through Manni, we get to experience human spirituality as it is faced with a diversity of challenges. Though there are many sad times, this book is truly inspirational and exciting. There are many twists and turns. The book takes you through an emotional roller coaster and drops you off in places that you never expected. I give this book 5 stars and highly recommend it.
