This book was very interesting because it sheds light on Malcom X life and what he was going through. It also helps show his mind set on what he needed to do to fight against racism and discrimination against African Americans. This autobiography helps you understand why Malcom X did the things he did and it also helps you understand what was going on during his time. This book tells Malcom X story in a very detailed manner and gives lots of vivid details about his life and about his troubles a

I think that this book was very meaningful because with how i can relate to it. i cant say i understand what malcom x went through because i didnt have to go through it myself but i still do live in a world with racism every single day but its not as harsh as what malcom x went through. in this book he describes all of the obsticles that he went through to make a world a better place for blacks living in poverty. Malcom x lived in a time were life wasn't equal for all people and he lead civilist

Why exactly are books banned from schools? Sooner or later children may be exposed to this in a kind of way. Malcom X was one of many books banned from schools. One of the reasons for this book being banned is because of the controversial lifestyle that Malcom X lived and the violence,. It started of as an auto biography but Malcom X soon died and the job was left for Alex Haley to finish. Alex Haley was accused of exaggerating the truth. Family, friends and the nation of Islam claimed that Ale

You know you've a really good book if you learned something from it in the end, and this was this book. Yes it was a great story but it had accurate dates, historical facts etc. This made me feel like I was being educated but also learning on of the most important stories to America's History. This is the Autobiography of Malcom X in which I learned how he got from differnt points in his life. First he was a little boy with a dad, then his dad was murderd, later he starts selling drugs, goes to

Amazing, after reading this book, it had me thinking.
I have not yet read this book but I hope to in the near future. I am still waiting for this book in the mail so when i get it in result i will be able to read it and enjoy it. I am looking foward to reaading it because i have read some reviews by other readers and it seems like a good book in addition my sister already read it and recommeended it to me. In all i am very exciteed to get this book and read it . The book should arrive in the coming days, with god willing.
Long, but rewarding read. The Islamic theories of white's being manufactured by a black scientist are just absolutely insane, but overall this is a very informative book about Malcom X. I read this book in jail, which made it seem more significant at the time- but it's definitely a book I'll always remember. I love the early years of Malcom X, during his zoot suit days. Pity he got blown away by a shot gun.

I really liked this book, but I think that auto/biographies are not my cup of tea. I actually read this for a class, otherwise I probably never would. However, it was a very interesting read and I would recomend it to anyone who would like some insight into this era and a specific place in time. Good stuff.
This biography flows well. You truly cant put this book down. I dont enjoy auto or biografies that much but this one really helps you see how one transforms its life, while given freedom to think while meeting the religion that recognizes no race, color or creed.
A necessary read for anyone interested in race politics. This book should not be read only historically, but considered a breathing critique of colonialism.Many of the conditions and injustices Malcolm X discusses have only grown since his tragic death.
I never really liked Malcom X that much. I was much more a MLK Jr. fan. But Malcom Little's story is fully of interesting stories and facts about himself. Who would have thought he'd be a pimp, drug dealer, burglur, and a hustler? I never knew that...
Others have reviewed this book much better than I could do. I will simply say that this is one of those books, that as my public library says, "should be read by the college bound." I guess I am a little behind. :) An important and relevant book.
Profound. This book made me laugh cry angry happy inspired everything. Malcom X was a MAN. Not to mention the book made me better appreciate the severity of the black man's plight. Honestly do yourself a favor and read this.
i enjoyed this book so much. its a true story and i learned more about what the past was like and its very different from now. but it also shows how far we have gotten from the pass and til now

A great read. Tell's a man journey towards discovery of the Ultimate truth. and how he dies shortly after getting very close to it, or did he make it? you decide...
i thought this was a very good book. i learned a lot about how people of my color were treated a long time ago i recomend this to anyone
I am glad I read this book in terms of expanding my horizon. I do think Malcom X was a very flawed many in many respects.
