Jeff Buckley's Grace (33 1/3) door Daphne A. Brooks
Insanely overwritten hagiography. I learned a couple of facts, but mostly I just learned that the author really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really likes Jeff Buckley (replace 9 of the previous "really"s with randomly chosen adverbs to get a general idea of the style). It's also a very badly edited book, even in terms of just basic copyediting.
I would more be apt to call this book The Great Escapes 3 1/2 Slave Narratives. The differences between Narrative of Henry Box Brown and Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown is negligible. Nevertheless, all three authors write compelling stories and offer political notions of freedom, as applicable today just as they were in the 19th century.
