Book Reviews of Roots: The Saga of an American Family
Book Review: The best!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Roots is probably the best novel I've ever read. It's a saga telling the story of the African-American experience from the time before America existed, to the present day (or close to it).
A captivating novel. I usually lose interest in novels after about page 150, but I couldn't put this down! I read all 700+ pages in about 5 days...
The most important novel in America!!
