This review is from: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

anyone who would actually use this cliffnotes addition better have a good reason, like language barrier or something. the actual narrative is quite short and accessible. this cliffnote is a waste of money.
