Long Journey Home Review

I just finished reading this book like 15 minz ago & i thought it was great! i came online 2 find out more info on the author & stuff so it was aight & i might read another book by Julius Lester well thatz my opinion i*m out ~holla~ represent

Very interesting reading!

I've read a lot of slave narratives over the years and, like the first reviewer, found these very compelling. I wanted to know what happened to the characters after "the end" and didn't want the stories to stop. I'll be reading more work by this writer.

Long Journey Home

Long journey home is a very intresting book. Reading about African American Slavery in history books doesnt have the impact that reading these simple stories have. Here I am actually reading about the experience of real people.I find the stories so intresting I did not want to stop to have my supper. If you knew me you will know that does not happen too often.As a young person living in England, I recommend it highly not just to other people of colour like myself, but to anyone who likes a well written story. The stories are sad and happy and they make you think about life, and to be glad that the world has become a more understanding and place.Winston (London)
