    Why I recommend "The Giant's House: A Romance (P.S.)" — 2 years ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in very good writing. McCracken has a way with metaphors that really impressed me and often made me stop and think about what she’d said. I’d also recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading the offbeat story. None of the characters in this book are strange, but they deal with an issue that the majority of us never ever have to consider. That’s interesting to me, and I gravitate toward books written about this kind of subject. And last, but not least, while I’m not a reader of the romance genre, this book has a love story that’s decidedly different from most, and it’s that difference that makes it very special.

    Why I recommend "Hanging Captain Gordon: The Life and Trial of an American Slave Trader" — 2 years ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    Hanging Captain Gordon is the account of the capture, trial, conviction, and execution of Captain Nathaniel Gordon, the only man was was executed for the crime of slave trading in US history.

    I recommend reading this book for several reasons:
    To learn more about slave trading and what it entailed in the past.
    To learn more about the history of New York City during the time of the Civil War.
    To learn more about attitudes concerning slave trading as opposed to owning slaves during the period of time covered in this book.
    To learn about how the slave trade law has been updated for current times and how slave trading continues right now.
