Excellent, Informative Reading
I was very excitied about reading this Maya Angelou book, but was soon very bored. Maya had a sad childhood and I felt terrible for the ways in which she was treated; raped, racism and neglected. Her story was very drawn out and slow.
While reading this I found it hard to remember that it wasn't fiction, that it is in fact a true story about the early life of a great poet and writer. I think Angelou's poetry is better than her books, but this is still worthwhile.
