SynopsisIt begins with a birth in 1750, in an African village; it ends seven generations later at the Arkansas funeral of a black professor whose children are a teacher, a Navy architect, an assistant director of the U.S. Information Agency, and an author. The author is Alex Haley. This magnificent book is his.
EXCELLENT BOOK. I WAS WISHING THAT THIS BOOK CAME IN LARAGE
PRINT, BUT I GUESS IT DOESN'T. HOPEFULLY, AFTER MY CATARACT SURG AND LENTS IMPLANT I WILL BE ABLE TO READ EASILY.
I watched the mini series on TV many years ago. I rate it as the best mini series on TV. After so many years, I love reading the book because there is so much that I do not remember. I have read hundreds and hundreds of books.......Roots is at the top of my list.
