4.0

This collection of critical essays is perfect for the independent reader of [b:I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings|13214|I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Maya Angelou's Autobiography, #1)|Maya Angelou|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327957927l/13214._SY75_.jpg|1413589]. I did not read this in high school or college—or even with a book club. I read it with the Goodreads group "Everybody has read this but me." A wonderful group for catching up on iconic books and classics that everyone else has already read. Anyway, this collection helped me interpret and reflect on the book in ways that a discussion might have in a class. I did not read all of the essays—there are about a dozen—but instead picked the few that seemed the most interesting to me and read those. Highly recommended.
