Summary: Gracious
Comment: A very pleasant read. There's nothing like traveling Europe and Africa by way of Angelou's memory and experience (if you can't get there personally). This autobiography covers the time Maya spent with the Porgy and Bess opera. I'm always amazed at the elegant, graceful and poetic way the author tells her life story. I'm even more amazed at how those same characteristics are exhibited in her speech, her stature, and her aura. This is a quick read that is sure to inspire. Angelou has a way of sharing wisdom and experience in a manner that connects with most any reader. Add this one to your list and be sure to check out some of her audiotapes as well. The only thing better than reading Maya's work, is listening to Maya read her work.

Summary: An Important Chapter in Maya's memoirs
Comment: In "Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas" I found myself completely rooting for Maya and again was drawn into her memoirs completely. I've read all 5 volumes. I still cannot say that I have a favorite but I must say that this certainly important reading. If you've never read anything by Maya Angelou this is as good a place to start as any.
