alexandracross 's review for:

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
5.0

I was introduced to James Baldwin in my AA History class. Although I learned a lot about his life (I believe we watched a documentary on his life) I never read any of his work...until now. His words are smooth and poetic. His ability to express himself, his opinions and the situations he finds himself are exactly how I wish I could.

On the back of the copy I read, there was a review that described his writing like waves in the ocean. I thought it was a perfect description. I recommend to read at least one of his books.
