5.0 out of 5 stars Still Wished I Kept My Original First Publication, May 5, 2010
This review is from: Roots (Hardcover)
Loved the T.V. Series and had the hardback or hardcover edition, first print, mint condition; and with regrets - I put it up for auction years ago, the biggest mistake I had ever made. This book is long; very worth while reading - much like reading a diary. There is "no buttering it up" in this book, for it tells it as Walter Cronkite would say, "That's the way it was..." when he ended his news broadcast. I wished I could expound the depth and aspect of this book, yet, it would be spoiling the surprise to the reader. It is with recommendations if all possible to find the original, in best to mint condition and KEEP IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Humbled by this reading., August 24, 2011
By 
This review is from: Roots (Hardcover)
I am WAY late in reading this book (2011). I wanted to read the complete story without having seen the movie adaptation because the inner thoughts of people can be as powerful as the visual protraying of them. This book is a TRUE masterpiece of time and dedication by Mr. Haley. I am horrified at what people can do to other people. No one who takes this literary journey would have to suffer the real impact of slavery and that is the power of this work -- unfortunately, it is all too true. I am humbled.
