A review by extravagantly
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

challenging dark inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

i don’t really know how to rate autobiographies because it feels like i’m rating someone’s lived experience. that being said this book was quite good especially because i audiobooked it with angelou’s narration 

it was touching, reflective, and gave a window into a life i never could have known otherwise. i have no experience with angelou besides learning about her in school and probably reading a poem or two at some point. i hope to read more of her books and learn more of her activism going forward
