I cried and threw the book aside then had to pick it up again to find out what really happened..
it has really affected me.
Anyone else?

I watched the movie and cried. Wondered what the book was like?

Harrowing...:(

Ah, well the film wasn't as harrowing as 10 years a Slave but it wasn't far off, particularly toward the end.

oh God, 12 years a slave - am reading that at the mo too.
Not feeling good about white people right now, of whom I am one...

I haven’t seen the film but have read it. I agree - it’s harrowing.

I felt the ending of the film was less strong. Thought the descriptions in the book were amazing - one of the few books I have re-read. Try Burial Rites if that gripped you - completely different setting but no 'easier' a read
