I don't ever think I'll consider this one of my favorite books, but it was interesting. I choose to read it to complete a yearly reading challenge and wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. I liked it more than I expected.
The audiobook is read by Ms. Angelou herself and her voice is very familiar to my generation.
