Who has read this book?

The book was awesome I read it for the secondtime, It is amazing that a person who went to prison, a place for ex society member could turn his life around so drastically along with whole neighborhoodsand arguably the country as well. Who has read this book? discuss...

 

[reeceman10]

Most def a classic, makes you think about everything around you in a different state of mind..

 

[blackmagnus514]

Def a classic....the part where he talked about the errands he used to run for the old white guys was

...and the game he learned from the hookers

 

[big fame one]

agreed, one of the best books I have ever read. Very important read.

 

[rebel rly]

changed my outlook

 

[craxyaznguy]

My friend told me about this book, and after reading it, it totally gave me a new perspective on society and racism.

 

[jomitm]

new outlooks eh...is it beneficial...or would it give me paranoia that i wouldn't be able to resist?

 

[dam its johnny]

My favorite book i read in high school.

 

[trueblack88]

My favorite book, ever. I read it on my own in middle-school, and it just changed how I thought and acted. Had a big impact on me, opened up a whole new worldof Black intellectual thought. Another good autobiography that is even more extreme than this is H.Rap Brown's "Die N_____ Die". Thats anotherclassic. People often want to label X and those guys as 'racist' or whatever, but they were simply acting in accordance with the times. Great man,great book...

The last time I read it was in 4th grade for a book report but I definitely need to read it again now that I'm older to get a better perspective.

[icykicks79]

Yeaa.. i did a project about him and the book for skool... stupid teacher gave me an f bcause she thought i plagiarized..smh

 

[reduce523]

This is my all time favorite book. I think every inner city kid should read this and see that even though you might start off with nothing you can still changethe world. Movie was the %$%% too.

 

[916kings]

Im reading it now. Im at the part when he got isolated from the NOI.
Incredible guy. Great book.

 

[definition of dopeness]

Yessir, don't want to be repetitive but it is indeed a great book. My favorite autobiography, possibly one of my favorite books ever.

What teacher would assign "Malcolm X" to a 4th grader. That doesn't make sense at all...

Malcom > MLK

 

[shortydoowopp]

Still haven't gotten around to it. I'm reading Mis-Education of the Negro right now.

 

[i drink your milkshake]

It really isn't a hard book to read at all you're giving me too much credit but thanks anyway.

 

[qpitfighter]

I got this book as a gift when I graduated from the 6th grade. Both the book and movie are appreciated.

It wasn't assigned, we had to do book reports on famous people in history who were our heroes and I chose Malcom X at the time and that was the bookthat I found to do my book report on. It wasn't a hard book to read. You people act like 4th graders are still supposed to be reading Dr. Seuss orsomething.

 

[akajae]

he just returned from Mecca.

great read.

Why are you even comparing them? They both helped revolutionize civilrights, their purpose wasn't to show up one another, their purpose was to educate peope.
