![]() ![]() Somehow I missed the Roots mini-series in the 80’s (despite the fact I am a 70’s child) I have no idea how!! Anyway, once I started listening I was spellbound. This led me to the Ken Burns documentaries and from there I jumped to Lalita Tademy’s book Cane River - a must read too. NO BUT I WOULD IF IT WAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS ONE.Ībsolutely incredible - a must read / listen for allĪfter the awful racist protests in Virginia USA in autumn 2017 I started trying to learn more about the American Civil War - something we don’t learn about in England. Have you listened to any of Avery Brooks’s other performances? How does this one compare? THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TIME BEFORE, AND AFTER KUNTA KINTE WAS CAPUTURED. WHEN CLEANING, BAKING, IRONING ETC.IT TOOK ME AWAY TO THE TIME AND PLACE, WHERE THIS STORY BEGAN. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY? IT IS A REALLY GOOD LISTEN, I LISTENED TO ROOTS OVER SEVERAL DAYS. IT IS VERY SAD IN PARTS, BUT THERE IS ALSO HUMOUR,AS YOU FOLLOW THE LIVES OF THE CHARACTERS THROUGHOUT THE STORY. I CAN REALLY RECOMEND ROOTS TO ANYONE WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN THIS KIND OF HISTORY. THE AUDIO VERSION HAS SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION THAN THE TELEVISION SERIES. ![]() IT IS A VERY GOOD VERSION OF THE BOOK, HAVING READ THE BOOK AND WATCHED THE TV SERIES, I CAN SAY THAT I'VE REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO THIS STORY. Would you consider the audio edition of Roots to be better than the print version? I WATCHED ROOTS THE SERIES,MANY YEARS AGO ON TV. ![]()
