Awesome graphic!
the slave dancer, yet quite gruesome, is a spellbinding book retelling the horric practices of slave trade. it also explain the cruelty of human nature and inhuman conditions. Overall, I give this book 5 stars!(if i can give more i would.)

Maybe disturbing for people who aren't ready
A good book that I recomend to people who can handle it. It's a little intense. There's beating and some language, there's also lots of dying. It's a little depressing to see what people did to the african slaves.

ihaveahorriblehistoryteacher
I had to read this book in my 11th grade US history class and write a report about it without using details... My teacher clearly is a poor history teacher and would might want to consider becoming an English teacher. Besides that this book was alright, may be inappropriate for children due to some racial slurs
