:

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from 2 plus mom -- Jaw dropping : I'm a 50 something lady. I heard all the History stories in school, but to read this written by a man who actually lived it was JAW DROPPING. The "slang" that was spoken, took you there in the slave quarters, the cotton fields, speaking to the land owner, as if you were right there with them. The true brutality that this author and all those he spoke about was absolutely awful. Thank goodness there was someone who listened to him, got the word out to his family, and he made it home. And all, without anger or hatred or revenge in his heart. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from yellowsprings -- Unbelievable treatment by slave owners : You read about slaves, slave owners and plantations in school history books. They barely touch on the subject and none are on a personal level. This book was written by a free man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. His first hand accounts of his experiences are absolutely astounding. Twelve years of back breaking work, degradation and beatings are chronicled in this book.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Arthur -- Excellent book. Valued for it's historical significance. Should be required reading for every American. : I bought this after watching the movie. I am a college student that works full time, so I usually don't have much time for reading things that aren't school related. I finally got around to finishing this. This is an extremely difficult book to read. What this man went through was astoundingly awful. It is an important narrative though. If you want to understand southern culture as it is today, if you want to get a deeper understanding of race relations in America, or if you just want to read a good book, I highly recommend it. You get a real picture of what institutional (versus man to man) racism is. You will also understand how far our country has come from it. If one black man can triumph over adversity in that day, all of them certainly can now. A history professor once told me that it's not enough to just say that the south was wrong, you have to understand why they thought like they did. This will definitely shed some dark light on the subject. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer. -- Couldn't put it down.! : I am so happy to have read this book. I promised myself I'd not watch the movie till I'd done so. Wow! What a life of horrors this man lived having only his dream of returning to his family alive. We are so ignorant of the stolen time, life, & relationships our black brethren endured at the hands of greed, arrogance, injustice, ignorance, & above all, a superiority complex that has been revived & Fed with constant lies by the crasher of OUR White House, the father of Vulgarity, Lies, Cowardice, Crookery, Insecurity, Injustice, Hate, Lack of Empathy, Corruption, Division, Classlessness, Misogyny, Disrespect, & above ALL, its, its family's, & its administration's state of TOTAL MORAL & VALUES BANKRUPTCY. I'm so happy to have read this book. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Andres Garcia -- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ! : If you want to read this book in Spanish do not waste your money, the translation is horrible, to the point of being incomprehensible. There is another version in Spanish on Amazon with very little difference in price that is perfect. I think that Amazon should remove this book from the market. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from J. Johnston -- Extraordinary book, but there are better versions on Kindle : As slave stories go, this one is, in my view, without peer. Northup's s captivating tale -- which has gained attention because of the movie that shares the book's title -- is told in exacting detail with an easy prose. He sets the stage masterfully, describing people and places before proceeding into the narrative. Unlike works of fiction, this book is so compelling because, by all accounts, it is true. There is no polemical axe to grind, as with Uncle Tom (a novel at one point wryly referenced by Northup). Here you see both the brutality of slavery and the moments of kindness by slaves and even some slave owners. Solomon tells the story with clarity and intelligence. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2013 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Astha Moudgil -- A must read : Born as a free coloured man, Solomon Northup was tricked, drugged, kidnapped, tortured and hence sold into slavery. His name and identity were snatched away from him and he was forced to be slave and after 12 years remaining slave under various masters, he obtained freedom in January 1853. Solomon Northup penned his memoir which is a factual and detailed record of his tricking into, struggle, fight, efforts for freedom and finally attaining freedom. ( Reviewed in India on December 29, 2018 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from M. Dowden -- Harrowing : David Wilson helped Solomon Northup write this book and this fact, that a white man helped a black man write his experiences may be one of the reasons that when it comes to books by slaves this has been often overlooked in the past (of course with a film adaptation that changed). At the time of the first publication of this it was quite well known as it came on the back of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ and gave more weight to the abolitionist movement. Solomon did give lectures and such like when this was first published and then dropped out of the limelight, and I don’t think anyone really knows what happened to him, when he died, or where. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Cornelius Ratchet -- Disgusting : On one level this is simply a story about a man who finds himself in hell and just wants to go home. On that level it's a page-turner. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Shalmali -- Vocabulary builder : Honestly, i thought of completing this book within 5 days as it has around 250 pages. But it is taking me more than that because of the complex words and sentence phrasing. I am using my phone to look up some words. It is a very informative book. You may feel bored initially, but my rule is to read 40 pages straight away whatever it may be. ( Reviewed in India on August 3, 2019 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mrs K Ward -- A must read. : Amazing must read. I first watched the film and a few years later brought this book. I could not put it down or comprehend the cruelty. That people think they have the right to own or treat another human being in such away. We may argue, that it was a different time. But things have not changed! Human trafficking exists in our times still, even though another word for Slavery and not always against a black human being, as it was back in Solomon’s time. I certainly can not comprehend the cruelty of any human being to another human being. Having children ripped from your arms and sold. Being raped and constantly in fear of your life and not always for disobeying an order, but because of someones whim or satanic pleasure that can only be called monsters then and monsters today. Thankfully humanity in some people still exist. The book Twelve years a slave is wonderfully written and sadly hundreds of stories that are true and need to be written. Not hopefully for our enjoyment but giving us the understanding and knowledge not to repeat and if done and we are made aware do something about.
