Now this novel is for my English class and all the books were reading in class are non-fiction.
When I started this book I was not in the mood to read non-fiction. I wanted a fictional story with characters that I could be caught up with. So this added to the reason why I did not particularly enjoy this novel.
It’s hard to follow and it takes time to understand what he's discussing.
It’s a slave narrative and Cugoano was an Afro-british writer and wrote when there were a couple of other Afro-British writers in the time he is one of the less famous writers.
The book is filled with history and it gives you a really good picture of what the times were like. But if you’re not in the mood to read non-fiction I wouldn't suggest it because you'll just end up being lost and not understanding what Cugoano is discussing. So because of this I give it one checkmark because of the historical importance and how he wrote his arguments. And one x because like I said it’s a hard book to read and it’s not for everyone.
Read because you love it and not just for the sake of reading (This is me trying to get all philosophical :))
bye.
