I bought this as a gift for my sister - she had requested it - she hasn't commented on how she likes it
Leave this one alone. Her grandmother had enough means to make loans and help others financially. Unfortunately fate intervened and I was required to read this in a college history class. She complains about how poor and mistreated she was, but everything in the book indicates that her family was a lot better off than most white and black people at the time. Oh the humanity.The only redemption I found in the book is when I threw it in the recycling bin. At least it will end up as something useful. I can summarize it as follows: self-indulgent tripe.I was amazed at how white people could do nothing right. Yes, I guess it would have been better for him to sit by and do nothing.
Yeah, poor Maya. Toilet paper might be most fitting.If you want to read a profound, thoughtful, life-changing memoir and analysis of racism, check out Catfish and Mandala. I had hoped that I would get through life without having to read anything from the queen of self-importance, Maya Angelou. When the police rode to the house to warn the family to protect the uncle, all she has is criticism. She had to go without for a few months.
We received the book within the time stated and the book was in like new condition. Will gladly order from this source again.
Great book.sometimes a little difficult to stay with her. But, WOW, what an awesome woman.
So, she is preparing to read it and I'm sure that after she does, I will need to but her the other books in this series.But, this is the autobiography of Maya Angelou, one should know that this is a must read. I saw the movie made from this book when I was young, and I told my daughter that the books that movies are made form are far more better and fill in blanks. This is historic and a must read for Young Women, because Maya overcame many things. I don't know the reviews for this book yet. What I'm saying is this book is a required reading for my daughter. The movie was very good, and I am glad it is a required reading for my daughter, for when she is done, I will read it and I know that we will purchase the follow-up books as well, for I would like to know what drove Maya to be Maya, what hills and valley's she came through.
