Horror's Greatest Hits
Barbara asked this question about The Underground Railroad:
Does anyone like that the author wrote the railroad as a physical, operating one? I felt it unnecessary and beyond the scope of possibility.
Carol Bro I would have preferred that part of the story remain historically accurate. I found it confusing and an unnecessary distraction from the real story. …more I would have preferred that part of the story remain historically accurate. I found it confusing and an unnecessary distraction from the real story. However, the quality of Whitehead's writing and the glimpse he gives us into the emotions experienced by those trapped in the chains of human bondage overrides his little detour from reality. Still well worth my time as a reader.(less)
