As someone noted, this book can't compare with Book of Negroes. Any Known Blood lacks the compelling characters and gripping story. I could have stopped reading this book at many points. The book does bring to light some historical events, though, that I found interesting, such as the raid at Harpers Ferry. I suppose the author gave a lot of thought as to why the men of each generation in the book needed the same name. He gets close to explaining it when a female character says, "What is it with men? They all want boys named after them." Maybe so, but it makes the book confusing.
