ikrod 's review for:

King: A Life by Jonathan Eig
4.5
emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

I learned so much from this book. A lot of completely new information, and a lot of details about situations that history class barely scratched the surface on. It really humanized Dr. King, which included moments when I felt sorry and grateful for the weight he had to carry, as well as moments when I saw him through a lens I didn’t like. Also pretty surreal to read in post election 2024 and see that so much of what MLK was fighting against is still an ongoing fight. 

Was very well researched and written. Kept me engaged, but it is a biography, so I wouldn’t say a page turner.
