mnboyer 's review for:

Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin
4.0

Absolutely loved this collection of short stories. It is hard to rate a collection of shorter works, because sometimes there are a few stories that really stick out and a few that do not. Had I just been rating "Going to Meet the Man" I would have given this five stars. But I was not a huge fan of some of the others, which seemed less impacting upon the reader. However--Baldwin did save the most gruesome story until the end.

I would highly suggest that if you enjoyed these short stories, or you're interested in Baldwin, do not forget to consider [b:Giovanni's Room|38462|Giovanni's Room|James Baldwin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1389658936s/38462.jpg|814207]. It remains my favorite, though there is different subject matter.
