This is the first book in Ms. Angelou's autobiography. While I enjoyed all of her volumes of autobiography - after all, she's lived a fastinating life - this is my favorite. Probably one of my top 25 of all-time favorite books. Unlike so many other autobiographies, this one is written by a truly great writer, and thus, is a true pleasure to read. I predict that after reading this first installment of Ms. Angelou's life, you will want to continue reading her other autobiographical books.
