February 06, 2007: This is one of the greatest novels I have ever read. Gordon Parks masterfully tells the tale of a young man's jouney through adolescence during a racially turbulent period of Kansas history. It is a beautifully written story that is sure to enrich the reader long after the last page has been turned. I can not recommend this book highly enough.

January 03, 2006: I really recommend this novel to those young students who like to read of what is was like in this kind of world when slavery was barely starting to be gone and when the freedom was coming in to this world. This is a good book because you'll want to keep on reading and wonder what's going to happen in the next chapter. I'm in ninth grade and I was on my Christmas break and I had nothing else to do so I read this book.
