It was this young man, who had been torn from his homeland and in torment and anguish brought to the slave markets of the New World, who held the key to Haley's deep and distant past. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award Review: Best Book Ever Read - Hands down one of the best books I have ever read. It is actually a good year or more since I read this book but unlike other books that have come and gone this book has stayed with me like no other. The first hundred pages deals with the birth and life of Kunta Kinte until he is captured. These pages are essential to understanding the enormity of the new and horrific life awaiting Kunta in the plantations. The chapters dealing with the boat trip to America made me feel physically sick by times but I couldn't turn away. Alex Haley did a masterful job of describing the horrific life on the Plantation and of creating well rounded characters that by the end I felt I knew like close friends. Yes this book is a very tough read by times but I cannot recommend it highly enough. Also, I know that to some the size of the book coupled with the small writing might be a bit off putting but please don't let this bother you - it is such a great story that by the end you will actually be wishing for a just a few more pages! Review: Fast delivery and still a powerful book. - I found a copy of this in a book sale but the old version I bought was too disappointed to read. This is not an original edition but it's a lovely quality book. The story is still gripping and powerful. No matter some of the research might have been discredited , it doesn't effect the story or the importance that this history be acknowledged and addressed. Very powerful. I would highly recommend the book and the TV series.. The original and 2016 remake are available in desertcart. For a small charge. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 206,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 226 in Community & Culture Biographies 855 in Biographical & Autofiction 1,057 in Cultural Heritage Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,576 Reviews | ## Images ![Roots - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81i3wnoTM6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Book Ever Read *by N***I on 20 March 2017* Hands down one of the best books I have ever read.
