it is a great book intresting

i love the glory field it was the most positive book ever and it also educational

i hated this book. if u like history books this book is for u but if u like exciting things then u will cry everytime u read this book

I think that this book is verry interesting. I had to read this book for a summer reading project at my school, and i would read it again and again if i could. It really helped me understand how the "blacks" became free. Not only did this book help me in english class but also in history class!

it teaches you about life for slaves and black families. but the way its written makes it kinda boring..

I'm only 14 however I loved this book. It was a bit hard to follow at first, in fact to be honest I hadn't read the Elijah and Lizzy/Moses sections at first because when I had to read them for class I couldn't get into it yet. However, once we got to Luvenia, I was getting more and more into it and Tommy was a pretty cool section, and by Malcolm I couldn't put the book down. I think it was probably because I couldn't understand the earlier sections as much because I really don't know and can't sympathize or understand what it was like so long ago. Because I got really into it once I got to Luvenia, Tommy, and Malcolm. The book gives off some great messages and is a great read for anyone 12+ I'd say.

i think it is good to inform other black families to know about some of the hard things our past life went through. It kind of is like roots but this book is less harsh but the same information.

This is the most boring book ever written. It has no plot and spends the entire book introducing the boring characters. If you are unfortunate enough to have this book, burn it. You will have more fun watching it burn than you will in reading it.

It's history people. It's all about maturity. Know that Congressman who said we should segregate? Yeah well look what black people had to suffer.
