Best book I’ve read in a while. Wanted to find out what happened to amazing, strong Cora.

Very well develop characters and story line. Loved it.

Slow beginning, but overall a very good book. I enjoyed the narration and was captivated once it picked up.

Historical non-fiction with well developed characters. However, the authors zest to get in historical information at times made it more like a history lesson than a story.

Easy and enjoyable reading.

Very well written and narrated. Learned so much. Agree completely with "Great book a tough one Shows the strength of people and the evil of others A must read"

A wonderful book! Writing is incredible and the story flows seamlessly. Character development is strong, and premise is interesting. Really enjoyed it.

greatly flawed, not only historically but scientifically as well...did not finish it ....not worth the money spent...sorry...

Really enjoyed it. Felt it was a little slow in the beginning, but once it got going it was well worth it.

Amazing story of Maerican slavery on a par with Uncle Tom"s Cabin. More realistic, less sentimental than the latter.

This should've been a mandatory read when I was in high school...

What a storyteller and based in history that is essential for us to understand and think about

It had it's good parts, however it was similar to other slave/runaway books. I thought it would be much better especially being an Oprah's book club favorite. #book41of2019 #bookworm #whatsnext

Found it difficult to follow, back and forth and never really had a proper ending.

A tragic story of mans inhumanity to man which has taken centuries to change and sadly not yet completely remedied. Well written and very well narrated.

This book was compelling from the very beginning to the very end. Cora was such a strong character. I was shocked when I reach the end. I felt the story left me wanting more....but maybe that was the point.

I had a difficult time staying focused while listening to this book.

This was a great story that takes you back in time. It helps one understand the era a bit better. Narration was great too!

It was perfect as an audiobook - engaging storyline and the narrator kept the pace moving with expressive voice.

Compelling characters, story, historical context --much of which I did not know.

Great story, especially during these times. Really puts you back in slave time times, puts you in the shoes of a slave girl escaping the horrors of the south. Sometimes a bit confusing when the story takes an unexpected tangent. The reading is excellent, however.

Hard to follow in the beginning. Stuck it out, but it only got slightly better.

Hated it for many reasons.

It took me a little while to get into, but I really enjoyed this book overall.

Awesome and sobering at the same time. A look behind the mask of what we call America.
