DESCRIPTION:
Fozwort said Painful Vision of Past Injustice. Trying to read Patterson's books in order but this is a bizarre deviation. Dark and ugly story about a bad time in a segregated south when, according to the book, blacks were attacked, beaten or hung for even minor offenses like standing up for themselves. Cross wrote this to settle some guilt over some family history, apparently. It is a horrible story and one that doesn't need the benefit of his story-telling mastery. It is still an ugly story and one that I couldn't finish. I'm not sure how it helps to keep dredging up the past like this bu. Great book Scott This book was amazing. I loved it from start to finish. Just like all of his other books, this one was hard to put down. I love reading about our country's history, and reading a story like this is inspiring. Having a white man from the North to go down South and do what he did was and is very heroic, especially the time and what was going on. This book will definitely be read again and i will push this book onto other people to read too!!. "Bob M" according to Bob M. A very holding story line. Realistic, shows the hate and disrespect showered on the Blacks by ignorant people. This story brought to life what bigots were really like. Show no respect for humans that were seen as no better than animals. Animals were treated better. No matter what proof was presented it was disregarded.
