"I stole myself into freedom." Fredrick Douglass talks about his escape from a slave plantation in Maryland to Boston, Massachusetts. The book is full of lots of tragic stories of life on the plantation and the hardships of slavery. Although it was hard to read at times I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone intrested in slavery of African-American history. Although the book was enjoyable and intresting it was hard to read and difficult to follow sometimes. A lot of the wording might be hard to put together and it dosen't make sense most of the time. If your not a great speller you might have a hard time understanding the words. If you just try to understand or define what the words mean you might be okay. Honeslty I don't understand how a black person who was once a slave could know so much difficult vocabulary. Once you get past all the difficilt language the book is really intresting. He tells of all kinds of storeis that happend to him in his life. There are sad stories, and happy stories. Once you start reading all the harsh events that happen to him in the beginnig you'll never want to stop reading. All the bad things that happend to him, and all his surroundings keep you wanting to know more and what happens next. Overall I would say this book is great if your into reading history and stuff. All the stuff you leran about slavery and his life makes up for the difficulty of reading it. All the details make you feel like your really there and it makes it more enjoyable and not as boring. I really liked reading this book, and would recommend it to anyone.
