    “It is better than the film … A testament to the glory of the human spirit in triumph over the worst of human abuse.” - Daily Telegraph

    "This is no fiction, no exaggeration. If I have failed in anything, it has been in presenting to the reader too prominently the bright side of the picture. I doubt not hundreds have been as unfortunate as myself; that hundreds of free citizens have been kidnapped and sold into slavery, and are at this moment wearing out their lives on plantations..." - Solomon Northup, _Twelve Years a Slave_
