Amistad is Great

This was a great book. i had to read it for a book report. To tell you the truth I hate reading. This is the first time I read the whole book for a book report, it had me hooked. Now I get to see the movie. But, I understood the wording in the book, and It's just a good book the read. And I recommend it for all age groups.

Amistad, one of the best books I' ve ever read

There is not even close to enough words to discibe this novel by Alexs Pate which is based on the motion picture. The movie I thought was great. Take my word for it the book "Amistad", brings you into even more detail than the movie. I have read a lot of books, but this book really grabbed me into really feeling like I was there. It is a sensational and emotional book that will touch your heart and show you exactly what slavery was really like. How humans went through with this unhuman way to treat people. Filled with action and emotion this is one book that has it all.

Touching and could never put it down!!

I don't really read big books but I made an Exception with this book AMISTAD by Alexis Pate. I highly recomend it to people who love to read about sad but true stories that touch your heart and take place many years ago. AMISTAD describes how hard and faithfully some fought for their freedom, that others took away from them, without giving up. This book really teaches the reader how thankful they should really be for their freedom. This book is perfect I promise that you'll be in another world. If I could I would give this book six and a half stars!
