Thank you r/books for not choosing "the underground railroad" like all the critics out there. That book was god awful.

That book made me SO angry! The characters are never developed, so you don't feel any emotion for any of them. The story that gets told is "meh". I told my friends to just watch *12 Years a Slave* and *Django Unchained* for a better, more accurate portrayal of that time in history. I hate that book.

Honestly why do people like that book? I'm confused how so many critics can love such a pile of trash.
