Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave - Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison 2,5 stars.

I only read this book because it was part of a mandatory reading list for a class. I have never read any autobiographies, so I don't know if the way this book was written is the norm in this genre. I found it a bit dull and very monotone. Maybe I'm too used to reading fiction (very graphic fiction sometimes) to appreciate the author's writing style, but I didn't find any of the emotion that a lot of readers see in this book.
