Roots

Book Review   by:Alokjha     Original Author: Alex Haley
ª
 
It can
be called semi fiction, It claims to be based on facts but there have
been many comments on it condemning it''s blaspahamy( who knows)This one starts with a quest of a man who wants too know who he is. where his roots were.so he traces back his family history to last seven generations to find about his great great(seventimes i guess) grandfather Kunta Kinte who was abducted by the English and put to slavery.it''s
is his depressing story of trying to break free of the slavery curse.He
cannot escape it in his lifetime.. and they try generations after
generations (until Abraham Lincon bacame the president and abolished
slavery)This story is depreesing, heart breaking ... .. the struggle for freedom despite the inhuman suffering and pain is incredible.
