Editorial Review:

Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age–and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns about love for herself and the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.

Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a modern American classic that will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read.

Summary: Can't finish it!
Comment: This is one book I cannot even finish. I do not like Maya's writing style at all. She seems to repeat herself, at least in the first part of the book. I do not recommend it at all.

Summary: Absolutely beautiful
Comment: I normally don't go for nonfiction. I had previously read sections of this books for some of my classes in college, but never read the whole thing. After reading it though I'm wondering why it took me so long. This book is really amazing and the way that Angelou writes is wonderfully refreshing. I thought the ending was great and fit perfectly with her style. She has this fabulous way of writing that is both wonderfully poetic and yet manages to smack you in the face in a tell it like it is sort of way. Anyway, this book is definitely worth reading even if you don't normally read nonfiction. Her story seemed to me to be about how important the relationships in your life are. Through every place she lived, Maya had those people in her life that influenced her for good or bad. Anyway, you should read this book!

Summary: Beautifully Written
Comment: I loved this book. Written very simply and straightfoward, yet poetic. It drew me in almost immediately. Only complaint is that it left me wanting more information. For example, Maya and her brother had been incredibly close and were the only constant in each other's lives, but at one point they live apart and there is no mention of how this separation impacted either one of them. At several points in the memoir, I had questions like this that were never resolved. But overall I would definitely recommend. Maya has a unique and beautiful voice.
