So I'm required to read a book called "Amistad," by David Pesci, for my U.S. History class. The story is simple: a group of African men, who were taken from their homes/tribes in Africa to be auctioned as slaves, revolt against their white-masters while crossing The Middle Passage and their journeys afterward.
I thought it would be boring as hell for the sole reason of being a required reading for a history class. However, I JUST started reading it today, and I barely put the thing down; I've already read a third of the book. It's an awesome book. Even though it's fictional (which I prefer over non-fictional) and historically-based, it's still drenched in drama, action, violence, great imagery, and the author's transitions are flawless. So yeah. "Amistad," if you want another good read~
