This book is haunting, the plot unfurls thrillingly like a flower blooming, and has heart-wrenching characters and scenes. But why did I feel like I forgot the details of this book in between reading sessions, only for it to come back when I started the next chapter?

In all seriousness, the book is great and it is downright creepy. A great ghost story of the evils of slavery told through a great perspective. But it also a confused narrative at times, which can drag the book, even as it is has a stone-cold grip on my stomach. It is sometimes difficult to discern the important parts from the fat (if you can call it that), but still a classic.

These types of books make me furious theres no half stars here. Clearly better than a 4, but not good enough for a 5. But for now, a 4.
