Middle Passage
This book seems to be the easiest to follow out of all the books we have read. Charles Johnson does a good job with detail and allowing the reader to follow smoothly with the story. I am very interested in learning more about this character Rutherford.
I like how the book started off with some hummor rather than something depresing like other readings. I think this book will be easy to follow because it started off with something that we can relate to which is a man point of view. The first sentence states "Of all the things that drive men to sea, the most common disaster, I've come to learn, is women", which is so true about the way men think. I feel like this sentence modeled a good image of what might happen in the book. The struggle of slaveyr and love will be key themes in this book, I think.

I also liked how this book started of with some hummor. I beleve that there is humor throughout the book though. at times i find myself just snikering at teh episodes that take place. I also agree that this novel is very easy to read. I found it to be the easiest to understand so far.
