Powerful book. I do enjoy Maya's Angelou's writing, and after loving her poetry for so long, I did enjoy this book. It is an important read, although I found some chapters to be a bit too slow paced compared to others. I think I will always prefer her poetry to her prose, but that is a personal opinion.
