Great read and a great man. The book seems a little incomplete as it would seem mr Douglass was wary of divulging too much information at the time. Sad really. If you want to know more of his story you’ll have to piece it together from other books.

A compelling look at slavery and leaving its clutches, how I wish this was not a reality for so many people.

Quite expressive and tells about how a lot of people felt especially those that were in the same situation!

I am so glad I purchased this wonderful book about the life of one of America's greatest minds! Frederick Douglas was the real man, speaking from experience, and his were hardly those any of us could imagine, he earns his credibility to speak of slavery, politics and life, & he does it with great wisdom. What an honorable man, and I cried in disbelief that stupid, ignorant idiots were tearing down the statue of a former slave...

I bought this book to read with my AP Language class for school. Normally I’m not big on memoirs, or really nonfiction in general, but I entered this with an open mind. Douglass told his story in a way that was enjoyable and educational, I cried along while reading and felt as if I was there. He truly was an eloquent author. This classic should be a requirement for all Americans to read! Glad to have this classic on my shelf!...
