Book Reviews of Manchild In The Promised Land (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
Book Review: Possibly the Greatest book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading Man Child in the Promised land is inspiring. It is a story about hopelessness, and struggle. It is a story where a man who shouldn't go anywhere but to jail, or a one way road to hell finds his way out of Harlem, and makes to a law school. The book explains everything in detail though, it is sensed that Mr. Brown doesn't really regret what he did because it got him where it did, and as such is an inspiration for other black boys in the ghetto, knowing that they can amount to something better. This is one of the few stories that brought me to tears for reasons other then sadness.
