It really made me think about life in general and how easy my life is compared.

I like the writing and I found a lot of what Angelou was saying relatable in some ways, but I didn’t quite understand the ending. For the whole book I felt like I was waiting for something more, but it never came. I think there might be a second book to this, though I’m not sure. What Angelou had written is very insightful of the Black experience and honestly people should be forced to read this book instead of “To Kill A Mockingbird” because Angelou just captures experiences so much better than Harper Lee ever could.

Interesting and often moving but sometimes felt more like a series of essays than a memoir
