I like the juxtaposition of "folksy"/ storytelling ambulatory voice with some really brutal acts of violence. I didn't know much about John Brown before I started reading... interested to learn more.

I haven't really read a picaresque novel other than Huck Finn (although I guess you could argue that the beginning half of To Kill a Mockingbird counts). That's what this is..... I'm finding that I like some sections better than others.
Most telling so far: "Onion" keeps stating that slavery is much easier to cope with than being free. Reminder that systems are needed to make freedom true, not just the name.
