    <body><![CDATA[Haley's books are so real and heartwrenching! They make you proud of what we have become, but ashamed of what's in our past, at the same time. While not as large in scope as Roots, this book certainly shows us a slaves existance, complicated by a white father.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked the book more than the movie because of course it was more detailed.  However it took at least 300 pages for Queen to be born and once she was at age, it seem like they did a brief account of her life.  Also I did not like the way it ended, like they were in a rush.
