it was the most intelligently written novel i have EVER read, it made me cry and laugh at the same time. I didnt know what emotion to feel. it shared its artistic integrity with my heart and mind! olaudah's tail is very moving and it is such a beautiful story!!! I dont know whatto do now that ive finished reading it, its like i want to be him. i want his life; it was so interesting and full of life! i really like it and would definitely reccommend it to anyone.

based on the first edition (1993)
I recommend this to all interested in slavery/abolition, colonialism and victorian studies. Moira Ferguson's introduction is a fantastic piece of criticism and scholarship with some excellent references - many of which I intend to follow-up. Mary Prince's story provides a very interesting human view of slavery and a rare female view. Of note to me were the primary sources, especially the many letters of the protagonists on both sides of debate and struggle.
 Gives a eye witness account of slavery June 22, 2001

This book tells it like it was. However as the original story was told in order to aid the anti-slavery movement, Mary Prince does not give her personal feelings on her story, or how her experiences affected her. It is nevertheless a harrowing account of slavery and gives a human face to the nameless masses of slaves. The book is not worth the price, as the story itself is too short.
