I am such a fan of Cornel West. His energy and eloquence are so vibrant. That comes through in this memoir - and Dr. West's life is truly a fascinating one. Sometimes there's a bit more name-listing than seems necessary, but it's a fascinating, quick read nonetheless.

He's a better speaker than a writer in my point of view. I didn't finish the book.

I enjoyed Brother West's memoir. It starts out stronger than it finishes, though; the stories of West's formative years and early years as a student are piercing. The later stories of his teaching career and failed relationships are less gripping, and West seems to shrug off things that I would love to see more depth of insight in. It does make me want to delve further into Brother West's writing, and in that way the memoir has done its job.

A great and detailed look at a fascinating man. I have even more reverence for him - honest, passionate, caring, with respect for all.
