I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Rating:
Summary: Good, enjoyable and sad
Review: The best word I could use to best describe the contents of this book is SAD. It is well written and makes you fell great compassion for the main character. It is a very moving book and disturbingly realistic. A must read.

Summary: I hated this book
Review: I hate how Maya Angelou thinks she's such a victim and tries to steal everyone's sympathy in a verbose piece of garbage. There are about a million lives right now that are much worse than hers but she acts like she has persevered the most racism and injustice in the world. She puts in about thiry big words for "opression" and "racism" and acts like she has reached sainthood. All this book is, is a self praisal (i forgot how to spell that).

Summary: ...
Review: Well, the beginning was terribly boring. I didn't understand much, either. But towards the end, it was an okay book. I have read better books, however.

Summary: The Life Lessons Could Have Been Written Better
Review: In any life one learns things of value which could be shared with others to help them understand our world. Maya Angelou obviously had many interesting experiences, but the manner in which she tells is, well, perverted. Sure she was raped and had a promiscuous sexual encounter. But, really, how is the explicit and graphic description going to help me? How will this perversion make me a better person? And the short response to that is: It won't.

Summary: A great autobiography of a girl growing in times of racism.
Review: This is the best book that I have ever read! It gives a good mix of fun and games and tragic circumstances. Me, not being black, got the full feel of being one when racism is at it's fullest. I have read many of Ms. Angelou's books, but I feel that this is her writing at its absolute best!

Summary: This Book is an excellent book. This book is a good buy.
Review: The biography of Maya Angelou. In this book it tells all about her negative experiences in her life. Everything that she experiences in her life is amazing, and to think a black girl once went through all of this is very tough to believe. This book is great and everyone should read it to find out what a little girl went through in the first sixteen years in her life.

Rating:
Summary: I think that this was an excellent book.
Review: I think that this is an excellent book. Maya Angelou is a talented author who can entertain as well as teach her readers. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an awesome book that I loved. This is one of my favorite books. I suggest this book to anyone who wants a great book to read.

Summary: This book is WONDERFUL!
Review: I was not too thrilled when I started reading the book because it wasn't very clear. But, as I kept reading it made more and more sense. By the end of the book I think I felt alomst every emotion there is by putting myslef in Maya's shoes.

Rating:
Summary: Amazing
Review: Maya is so amazing...she offers a glimpse into the heart. She makes us want to experiece our emotions at the top of our being.

Rating:
Summary: I'm not Singing
Review: It would have been a meager attempt even if the blatant narrative was substantial, even though this story of Maya's convoluted life may be a desperate plea of painful expression. But, as far as the actual meaning of this book, this bird dies in captivity.
