Better Than First Thought September 10, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
At first when I started to read Oroonoko, I was convinced I would not be able to get into the slow of the story. However almost as soon as I thought this, I found myself entralled by the story.
We follow the story of Oroonoko, an enslaved African who is madly in love with a young woman named Imoinda, for whom he would do anything. The story is filled with an enchanting storyline, a number of rich and wholesome characters, and some excellent descriptive writing throughout.
Though a fairly old book, written in the late 1600s, Oroonoko is definitly worth the read.
