Summary: Nice Inspirational Essays
Review: These essays make nice bathroom or bed-side reading. Simple thoughts are brought out and put on a pedastal in an intentional manner that makes them seem profound. It's a good book to have if you need quotes or theme ideas for speeches or articles. It's kind of "Cherry On Top" kind of book. No meat and potatoes, but some nice special touches.

Summary: Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now
Review: This is a very well written and thought provoking collection of life lessons. The book has no plot because there is no one story that can explain all of the things that Angelou learned about and formed opinios on. Angelou's writing is very poetic and flowing, yet at the same time meaningful and thought provoking. Each short chapter tells the reader about one message to think about or lesson to learn. Some are told as events in Maya's life and others are little stories that tell of important issues such as sexism, charity, or choices. In this book racism was not noticibly a factor in the majority of the writing, however, there are some chapters about racism in Angelou's life. The book mainly focuses on her life as a strong, bold, woman coming across difficult situations that challenge her morals. Angelou was able to fit all of the lessons she learned about in one lifetime into a short book to share with the world.

Summary: I love Maya
Review: This is my favorite of the books I've read in which Maya Angelou sits around contemplating life, though it's perhaps not the most representative of her work. For the moment she sets aside her intellectual self, her history, her issues -- anything by which you might identify her as anything but a fellow member of the human race. In this book you're left with the essential Maya -- the wise woman with the great heart and the steady mind who speaks out from timeless space. It's an easy read, and life feels better when you're done. And if you're at the end left in doubt whether she's also a world-wise and savvy intellect, then anything else she has written will put your doubts to rest.
I love Maya Angelou.

Summary: A wonderful book for a woman
Review: This is the best book that I have ever read. Every book she has wrote was great but this one is different. It is more unique and interesting. This book is about a black girl who was called a woman instead of something else. I really enjoyed learning about her multi-leveled life as I read this book. Maya Angelou is a wise woman that has a great talent and a beautiful heart. I recommend this book to any woman...

Summary: More Maya please.
Review: This is the first of Maya Angelou's books that I have read, and I was amazed at her ability to make the reader feel tranquil while reading through her thoughts and feelings. I wish that there were more people like Maya Angelou in the world today.
This book made me want to be a better person... and I thought that I was already decent until I realized there is always something upon which I can improve.

Summary: A LEARNING BOOK!
Review: This was such a wonderful book to read! Angelou elequently writes about the lessons it has taken her a liftetime to learn. I myself, have had some of the same troubles she has had in my own life, and I will carry with me the advice she gives on how to deal and handle it. It is a wonderful book for any young woman to read. I am 18, and it was one of the best books I have ever read in my whole entire life. I loved it! It's worth reading over and over again!
