Books in Review ~ Roots by Alex Haley

One of my top books read of all time. Alex Haley is a genious with words, feelings and allowing the reader to be in the story. I not only read the book, but I felt the book. This is a book worthy of reading a second time. Roots: The Saga of an American Family is a 1976 novel written by Alex Haley. It tells the story of Kunta Kinte, an 18th-century African, captured as an adolescent, sold into slavery in Africa, transported to North America; following his life and the lives of his descendants in the United States down to Haley. The release of the novel, combined with its hugely popular television adaptation, Roots (1977), led to a cultural sensation in the United States. The novel spent forty-six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List, including twenty-two weeks at number one.
