5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK, Jan 12 2003

By	Brittany Butler (Memphis, TN (not originally)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freedom Road (Paperback)

To not feel emotion while reading this book is impossible. The reader falls in love with the main character, Gideon Jackson. His enemies become the reader's enemies. His struggles break the reader's heart, because they've grown so close to Gideon. The reader becomes angry, sad, and just upset at how the people and the America that so many people fought for, can just turn its back on these poor black slaves. The hatred and the evilness portrayed by the Klu Klux Klan is unbearable and the reader realizes how unfortunate these times were for the black American. So if you want a very dramatic, but historically true novel this is the number ONE choice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, Dec 16 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Freedom Road (Paperback)

THis book was my assignment for US History. At first, I thought it was going to be boring. But I just couldn't put it down after I started.After reading it , I had a better understanding to the difficulties of rebuilding the peaceful society between the blacks and white, especially under the presence if KKK.It is a truly touching and sad book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom Road, Mar 12 2001

By	C. Juhan (Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freedom Road (Paperback)

I really enjoyed reading this book. I have found books about the Civil War. This is one of the few books I read that deal with its after-math. It gives a well written illustration of the Reconstruction. The reader becomes the free slave, carpetbagger, poor white and bankrupt plantation owner. As each character meets Gideon Jackson each person discovers their importance in the development of humanity.

I thought this was one of the best books I've ever read, right up there with To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath,and Black Boy. Read more
