ihaz 's review for:
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
by Nelson Mandela
It took me three weeks to finish this book, but it was most definitely worth it. The reason why it took me so long was first of all it’s complex language, which makes me understand why some readers may quit it early on. Reading this book does need some patience and dedication, and I was willing to give it that. The second reason is that I needed time to contemplate on everything I read. It was that deep.
I truly wish this book was obligatory for all to read, not just to know on Mandela’s life, the history of South Africa and what the apartheid indicated, but because the difficulties he faced are many we unfortunately still have in our day and age when it comes to racism, injustice, inequality, restriction of freedom, and inhumanity. And yet, despite the great struggles, Mandela never strode away from his ideals no matter the cost. Even inside the prison cell.
