:

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Dusty -- Beutifully written memoir : I stumbled across this book while trying to find out more about the the effects of slave trade on families left behind. Beautiful book written by an Olaudah Equiano who taken from his home and enslaved in the North America. I have only read chapter one and you can feel his emotions and hear his voice while reading his description of his village, family, and dreams for the future. I have rarely felt so connected to an author. I don't know why this book isn't more widely known. Thanks to Amazon for making it available at no cost.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from James T. Martin -- Fabulous First Hand Narrative of Slavery and Maritime Trade : A wonderful story of tragedy and faith by one of the first narratives of a literary freed slave. A first hand account by an exceptional man abducted from the interior region of Benin in west central Africa. Thankfully for him, and his readers, he was able to become very literate in English language and writing. His honesty and integrity, along with his intelligence, hard work, command of the English language, and quest for faith led him to lead a rewarding life in an era when black people were extremely abused. It is a gripping tale that I recommend to everyone, no excuses, it was a free download to a Prime member on Amazon. It inspires me to research any rumors that this book in inauthentic in any way. It describes an era between the 1740's and the 1780's. It will be of interest to those reading about slavery and maritime trade. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- A Must Read : This narrative is a must read for anyone interested in the issue of slavery and its history. Although the details and events might not seem unusual --the slave ship, the mistreatment of the slave,etc.--yet to encounter these events from the INSIDE is unique and powerful!

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from kanelechi emeagi -- Incredible : I want to cry but filling up an ocean full of misery would be daunting. ( Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from The Docent -- Should be required reading in every school! : A must-read for anyone with a soul... but be sure to have a box of tissues handy! ( Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2014 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kay S -- Enlightening : Captivating account of one life of many thousands of the injustices and acts of inhumanity perpetrated upon helpless and vulnerable people violently kidnapped, bereft of home, dignity, life and liberty for the rest of their lives. But one man, the autobiographer, seeks to accomplish a higher purpose from his experience to appeal to the queen to end the violent barbarity of the slave trade ( Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Martin M. Bodek -- Interesting Indeed : This reads like a combination of the biography of Frederick Douglass and Forrest Gump. In other words, he floats around accidental-like on a breeze, and suffers mightily wherever he goes and has great adventures. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Informative and reader friendly! : Although I did not finish the narrative yet, I found that the author was much more intelligent than I expected for that period. He was informative and descriptive of the his African culture and the slave culture. As far as the product is concerned, I was delighted that when I returned to read the book opened where I left off automatically. I so needed that. ( Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Timothy Stedham -- An important work. : A very interesting and important document. To have a piece of history written first hand about slavery by someone who was a slave is an incredible example of the horrors these people suffered at the hands of Europeans. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2021 )
• 3.0 out of 5 stars from noddy -- 1st hand account of being a slave by an African man who was enslaved when he was 11 some 300yrs ago : I very interesting book written by an African who found himself a slave after people came to his village and carried off he and his sister when he was 11. He was a slave in many countries and this is an historical document as he wasn't freed until he was 40. He was even a slave in England. Very moving in parts but the language was difficult to read at times as it was written over 300 yrs ago so it would be for those of us reading it today. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2021 )
• 3.0 out of 5 stars from L. Owens -- Needs more ethnography and history, and less religion : Pretty good read but unfortunately over 1/3 is spent on religious reflections rather then ethnographic or historical detail that would have been more useful and interesting. Also the author’s prose style is a little indifferent, glancing over really intriguing aspects of life and focusing instead on a catalogue of ‘i wasnhere and this happened’, david paaaionate tones solely for breathless religious awe. Not bad, but not as good as I thought it was going to be. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2019 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Bambi -- Great book, shame about the printing. : This is an excellent classic of the life of a prominent abolitionist and successful author and should be read by anyone interested in the history of slavery and the abolitionist cause in Britain. However, I don't recommend this particular edition, because it is very badly printed, although well-bound and with a handsome cover. The inside, unfortunately, looks as though it was produced on a basic computer with minimal skills - large gaps in the text, large print size, small margins, etc.. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Joan B -- Absolutely amazing ! : The book contains shocking historic facts and the fact that it's written by someone from nearly 3 centuries ago makes it a good read. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2017 )
