Surprisingly good book. When I saw all the footnotes, appendixes, etc. I was afraid that it may be too much like a textbook, but it wasn't. This account of Mr. Northup's life from freeman to slave and back to freeman was very interesting. It was a straight forward account depicting his slave owners as the people they were - good and bad- and of his life for those 12 years.
