I heard this as an audiobook, but would have probably enjoyed more if I read it, as it was hard to keep track of people and their names while listening.
But such a matter-of-fact book, that the author describes all the events that happened from him being sold to slavery to his freedom. It paints a picture of the situation of slaves, their mindset and their longing for freedom!
I was really hoping that he would finally become free after his 4th attempt. Salut to his persistence to escape and then succeed in his life, while mingling in.

Why have I not read this before now!? Everyone should read this. Harrowing. Intense. And not a difficult read (except emotionally). It’s on LibriVox so listen to it.

A short but still powerful and thought provoking look into the life of an enslaved man, fighting for a chance at freedom.

I’d give this book 4 stars but the narrator mis-pronounced many MS town names which is kind of a pet peeve. I really liked the book otherwise!
