Must read book ! Beautiful , thought provoking !

Nice

I read this book in grad school, and it was like fresh air traveling through my nostrils! Uniquely presented, well written lifelines of transparent truth! I read it more than once, each time a wonderful experience. One of my favorites indeed!

I don’t typically like this genre, but I had to read this book in college and it was really good. I was really interested and remember saying to myself I could read more books like this if they were like this one. I thought it was interesting and I had a hard time putting it down.

It was good

Terrific book and interesting the way it is told

Like wow I read this book in high school and it was amazing

This is one book I wish was a required reading book in school. It's a compelling memoir written as a beautiful ode to his dear eccentric mother. I loved it and still re-read every so often. It is especially relevant with today's trying racial issues in America. I would highly recommend this book!

It's fascinating to see the authors experience with racism. Showing the color of your skin really doesn't matter, bc humans through time are always pushing away the people that are different

James mcbride is a wonderful writer who I think could take any subject and make it fascinating. I've read fiction from him but this is the only non fiction I've read. It was very well written and I enjoyed it
