One of the most significant elements of the book is how it portrays the evolution of Malcolm's views on race and identity. As he travels the world and learns more about Islam and other cultures, he begins to see the world in a different light and to question many of the assumptions and prejudices that have shaped his thinking.
This process of self-discovery and personal growth is one that many readers will be able to relate to, and it helps to make The Autobiography of Malcolm X a timeless and universal work.
In conclusion, it is a must-read for anyone interested in civil rights, American history, black men's struggles, white men's oppressive behavior, or personal development. It is a moving and inspiring story that offers valuable insights into the life and experiences of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

This book is dynamite! The first half is incredible in both writing and content. The stories are insane and vividly capture black America in the 20s and 30s. The second half of the book (the muslim part) slows down a bit and contains fewer crazy stories. It really hit home for me how the black man's plight is a direct result of the environment that white Americans created for him upon his landing on American shores. Overall, outstanding book!

This book had some very interesting parts but also a lot of boring ones too. I just thought there would be a lot more he was doing. His early life was really interesting to read about! That’s what had me hooked. But then when he gets involved with Elijah Muhammad it has a lot of lulls. Definitely if you don’t know about him this is the book to read. I’d just pick out the interesting chapters.
I also did not like some of his opinions on women but that didn’t really effect my review it just changed my opinion of him as a person.

An autobiography and more importantly a life story I believe everyone should read in their life time - but especially in today’s political climate of propaganda and censorship a truly enlightening and devastating perspective to reevaluate.
I’m very glad I read this for a seminar due to the very lively discussions we had and will continue having this month about the contents, perspectives, statement, emotions, etc. explored in Malcolm X’s life story. Highly recommend reading with a social component, i.e. buddy read or book club, as it’s definitely a book that requires reflection, discussion, disagreements and processing powers beyond a regular fiction read.

WOW is all I can say, I couldn’t put this book down. The man had such an interesting life and was much more than the media or school portrayed him to me growing up “when I’m dead...watch & see if I’m right..the white man in his press is going to identify me with hate”
