Black Boy (Cliffs Notes)

Rating:
Summary: Awakening
Review: I believe that Black Boy is a great book. The author was honest and did not try to make himself seem like he was more pure and good in his childhood than he really was. The autobiography was the life story of a lot of young Black boys growing up in the Jim Crow south.

Rating:
Summary: Good beginning, but really bad ending
Review: This book has a pretty good beginning and seems to flow really well towards the middle, but the whole other half has barely any point to it. It's a bunch of political stuff which makes it boring. The ending makes me dissappointed also.

Summary: This is a great book
Review: When I read this book for the first time in nineth grade, I thought this book was really boring because the author kind of put too many descriptions. But once I understood what the story was about and kind of accept the fact that he included a lot of details, I really liked the book. Infact, I actually liked the descriptions that he wrote. Because of this book, I was motivated to write a twenty page autobiography for my english class. Now I am a senior in high school and I have just decided to read this book all over again, and I find it even more interesting now because I understood it even more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read about the history of African Americans. I hope more high school students will read this book because it is a well-written book. Thank you.
