A Crime so Monstrous

The novel, A Crime so Monstrous by E. Benjamin Skinner, is a very disturbing book. Although very well written with great detail, the reality of slavery in other countries seems unreal. The author travels to four different countries to witness modern day slavery, or better known as hell. He tells stories of the lives of different people that were torn away from their families and forced to work as a slave under harsh circumstances. He included all kinds of slavery from slave raids to child slavery and trafficking to slavery in the caste system. The real stories of the strangers he meets are very frightening and it made me realize how lucky I am to have the life I was given. Overall, the book was great to read (although very depressing) because it opened my eyes to reality and what goes on in the world and how slaves are actually treated.
