Growing Up X

Rating:
Summary: Fell Shory of Expectations
Review: This was a very dry, perfunctory piece of work. Nothing new or interesting revealed. In fact the book boiled down to Ms. Shabazz expressing the equivalent of "look at me! I'm Malcolm X's daughter. I'm my mother's favorite child. Aren't I great!" I was sorely disappointed. I would have liked to know more about her sisters as well but she craftily kept them at bay. I highly recommend the Autobiography of Malcolm X and any collection of his speeches to get a real understanding of the man. By-pass this work unless you're just looking for someone who's stroking her own ego and basking in the fame and accomplishments of her parents.
