Its Been A Long Time Since I Read This Book!

Since high school, actually,,,,


I regret about not reading the book earlier in my life. To this very day, I consider this book underrated and VERY misunderstood(about a VERY misunderstood cult figure).

I read it in High School and to this day it is the best autobiography that I have ever read-very moving. After reading it I came to understand that Malcolm X was and still is misunderstood for his views. Also, Denzel deserved an Oscar for this role wink .

I read it years ago, for anyone interested in Malcolm X they should read this before anything else about him.

I read this many years ago. It was a very good book. Yes, X was very misunderstood, but he also allowed himself to brainwashed by religion and racist people. I recommend the book to everyone of any colour or race.

Nah, he's just a RELIGIOUS person who lived through racist experiences.
