~ MY STORY WITH ~ The Known World,
By Deb "@ThirtyCreative" (MD, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Known World (Paperback)
With this book the reader will be able to follow the day to day activities of a slave and their relationship with their owners. The novel not only narrates the story of an specific character, but it also presents the overall view and travels followed by the slaves to arrive to their destinations around the Americas.
The settings and characters are well developed as well as the union between the fictional characters and the real events. At different times in the book the descriptions turn into completely different stories, sometimes difficult to follow, but essential to the story. Plus, the wrap-up of the story feels a little forced and rushed. It may be a editing problem, not an author decision. Overall the book is a good one for those of us that enjoy reading for the literary merit of a book. It is a great example for those trying to develop/outline their own books. It has an easy structure filled with well thought facts and interesting stories. It really deserved the Pulitzer award that it received. |
