Beschreibung

A phenomenal #1 bestseller that has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly three years, this memoir traces Maya Angelou's childhood in a small, rural community during the 1930s. Filled with images and recollections that point to the dignity and courage of black men and women, Angelou paints a sometimes disquieting, but always affecting picture of the people—and the times—that touched her life.

It was so strong in the beginning, but it got a bit disjointed for me in end. I would still recommend it to everybody, it's such an important piece of literature.

It started out as a really great 4⭐️ book with an engaging story line. I loved reading about her early childhood. I honestly thought it would be a home run reading but I DNF'D at page 268. After she began speaking about her return to San Fran after being at her dad it just took a turn for the worse. I thought it was pretentious and long for no apparent reason. I know she is a great orator and all but honestly stretching one thought through 3/4 pages or a chapter is just ridiculous. I feel like it would have ended 100 pages earlier and I would have left feeling satisfied. The whole scene about how she was fighting to be a conductor on the bus, although noble really isn't worthy of address in the same manner as Harriet Tubman. I'm not saying racial issues are unimportant, but it was just escalated too much for my liking.
