Review: He was Good Enough

I enjoyed the book but was saddened that the author felt the need to bestow him with some metaphysical power to see into the minds of others. Kind of like a Spock mind meld characterization. He didn't need this he was good enough as an intelligent black man with the good brain his heritage gave him. Many poor black slaves who had a natural native intelligence  came to the same conclusions he did. He used his natural ability to reason, to know he would not remain a slave. I felt the supernatural powers of mind meld made him look above other blacks who were not capable without this special power.. A white woman says you have diminished the character. I still recommend the book as a good read. Just ignore the supernatural stuff as a mistake of the author .
