recently, i have read about this book by maya angelou. i searched amazon to read the reviews and there were favorable ones and bad ones as well. some say that the book is great but other say that it's boring. what's your take on this?

I loved that book, I feel that Angelou's power as a woman really shone through..I found it to be an inspirational read..I wouldn't say boring.

I loved it. It was funny and sad and triumphant. It made me a fan of hers instantly.

thank you very much for the answers. :) i have read the summary of the book and i felt that it is a good book. i am interested in knowing about her life and the challenges that she experienced which made her the person that she is now.
