A masterpiece!
The Autobiography of Malcolm X may be the most important autobiography ever written. I don't have the proper vocabulary to do this book its proper justice.
A must read!

Yes! Monica reread it. I think a person could read this book 50x and each time come away with a different feeling.
Great review, and yes, a masterpiece!
This is one of my all time favorites! I need to read it again.
