Nelson Mandela led an inspiring life, but I felt like this book covered every single day of it. I am in awe of his dedication to equality and justice and his willingness to do whatever it took to achieve them. I wonder if the world will ever see another individual so able to foster reconciliation and compromise while maintaining determination and selflessness in a quest to achieve true equality for all their countrymen.
Listening to the audio book. Not the best writing - written like a news story. No drama, but I am reading it to educate myself. Not too compelling to me but will get thru it.
OK, apologies proceed this review. I know he's a global hero and all, but this book just did not satisfy. Too many parts were glossed over. It was interesting, but read more like a text than a novel.
I still have so many questions.

This book is a mix of historical document and a book written for a general audience. Throughout the first half my continual thought was that the book needed a thorough editor. The last third was a much better read.

Truly inspiring. I know that sounds trite but there it is. This man’s story is unique in the history of the world so far as I know.
What can I say that hasn't been said a million times. This story was amazing, extremely readable, and incredibly inspiring. The blueprint of how a biography is done
