challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

I can see why this book is a classic. There are a lot of really heavy themes, but there’s also humor and a beautiful, poetic nature to the storytelling. Listening to Maya Angelou recount her childhood experiences through the audiobook solidified how real the stories are. My heart broke for her several times in listening to her story, but I am so glad I read this book.

Hearing Maya Angelou tell her own story in her own voice was wonderful. She's a gifted storyteller and speaker, and her mastery of language creates a wonderfully vivid image of her childhood for her readers.
