ROOTS by Alex Haley: A Guest Review by Robert John Huffine

 

For those of us who have been oppressed by White Power, this book is both a joy to read AND depressing. Some won't see the connection of the African Scenery like I did, but from the beginning of the Novel, I almost felt as if I were reading about the Real World Example of Tolkien's "Middle Earth" and the lives of the Hobbits in their own special little corner of the Globe. But after the White Orcs made their appearance, it started to fall apart. I couldn't handle it.
