I Never Had It Made: The Autobiography of Jackie Robinson by Jackie Robinson, Alfred Duckett

4.0

This was one of those books that I'm shocked I never had to read in school. It's not perfect. Mr. Robinson was a baseball player and not really a writer. Due to this the prose are very simply written, which is one of the reasons I think it would be fabulous for a high school class. I was a bit surprised on how quickly he covers his playing career, but I guess that makes sense given how young athletes are when they retire. Not always the most eloquent book, but definitely worth a read.
