South of Freedom

So this may probably be the worst book review I write, and not because the book was bad or anything, but because I was a bad reader. I began this book over a year ago when I had to write a History paper on it in the first half of my Freshman Spring semester. Then over the Winter break I read bits and pieces of it. A few days ago, I finally finished it. It was a very interesting book on how it was written by a black man who had grown up in the South and joined the Army, and then he moved North to work at a newspaper. He returned to the South to see how and if things had changed since he was a child. I feel as though some details weren't very accurate as he was biased against the South due to how he was treated, but I could be completely wrong because I have been raised in the South and usually the people are biased no matter where they are at. The book was kind of hard to read as the author used difficult words. I would recommend this book for adults who are particularly interested in History, especially the Civil Rights. I would not consider it a leisurely book to enjoy in the sun or for free time. Nonetheless, it was a very intriguing book. I would love to hear feedback from anyone who has read this book because I find it difficult to write my review on it. God bless!
