Night John

I read Night John for my first book. Night John is a good story. It is about black slaves trying to make a living. The book is very detailed.  That is what makes it good.  The detailed  parts are when a slave is getting punished.  I would read this book for a choice.  I liked reading this book.

NightJohn

I think the book Nightjohn is a good book. Reading this showed me that slavery is brutal because of the things they did to the slaves. They would whip and hang them for different reasons. Nightjohn was a free slave who taught Sarney how to read.
