Customer Review: Malcolm was a pretty messed up individual, if I must say so myself. He destroyed many lives, he treated black women as worthless, he peddled in drugs and crime, he placed a mere human being above everything. But he changed. And what's so amazing about this autobiography is the range of emotions it... more info
Customer Review: This book is a hoax. I knew it even when I read it as a teen. Another reviewer had a good point, that it may have been based on a real diary but was extremely heavily re-written. especially all the anti-drug parts. Even as a teen, it seemed too cliched, predictable, far-fetched and preachy. too much... more info

Some of the things that happened to him seemed pretty painful like getting his nose cut almost completely off. My favorite part of the book is when Roald Dahl and his friends put a dead mouse in the... more info

I am an unwanted child. I will never forget these words as long as I live and I quote my step-mother "You may have not been... more info
Customer Review: I'm astonished by the one star comments! These people should at least read a story about the way human language emerged and evolved to writing and reading. Maybe "How Writing Came About" by Denise Schmandt-Besserat and perhaps they would start understanding the unimaginable effort done by Helen and... more info
Customer Review: This certainly isn't as good as some other Laura Ingalls Wilder biographies, but it's not bad. I think this is focued more toward young teens than adults.
