dark emotional sad slow-paced

3.0

Although it was hard to read due to the heavy topics it deals with. The chapters weren't super connected with each other either so it felt like it was incomplete at some parts. However it's still a very important read. I wish that this was a long memoir rather than a book series of memoirs tho, since I wanted to read more of this.

Maya Angelou is undeniably brilliant writer. Her sentences have a life of their own. Style so beautiful and engulfing, it's hard to believe it is just text on paper. A lot of reflection on difficult topics but not in an obtrusive, overwhelming way. I feel like the book broadened my mind. Can't recommend it enough.
