Maya Angelou | 1984 | Biography

Book Favorite

"This was the first autobiography that meant everything to me as a young survivor struggling to find voice and meaning through the overbearing darkness. Angelou did what great writers of memoir do; she let me know that I was not alone because someone else had been there and made it out to tell the truth."

Katharine Hepburn was arguably Hollywood's greatest female actor of the 20th Century. In this memoir we get to know more about her, in her own words (and she was nothing like what you saw in "The Aviator").

I love the honesty in this book. It is laugh out loud, cringy and sad. (0 more)
Nothing, although maybe not as good as her first memoir (0 more)
A master storyteller
Janice Galloway knows how to tell a story and this one (memoir) delivers like a skelp on the heid when you wurnie expectin it. A follow up to This is Not About Me,' (which I loved) , this book didn't disappoint. From starting high school to discovering a love for music and Latin, all while avoiding her rocket of a sister, Janice Galloway doesn't skip a beat. From boys, love, friendship, sex and learning how to live in this world, you'll find it all. Honest, cringeworthy, sad and funny and all written ever so poetically, All Made Up delivers.

I loved hearing the story of the founding of Nike as told by Phil Knight, the man behind it all. He's very candid about their triumphs and missteps. (0 more)
The memoir ends right as the company is taking off and gaining traction, perhaps leaving the door open for a follow-up? (0 more)
Interesting look at the beginnings of Nike
