“For anyone who liked this book I would recommend that you get a copy of my auotbiography "Survivor" I Changed the Rules Part 1 when it releases Dec 29, 2009. You can view the synopsis here and on amazon.comMy autobiography is not just about my hardships, it's also about how you pick up the pieces and keep going. It is also about having goals, persevering through your obstacles, never losing sight of your goals and making them come to life when they may seem impossible to achieve.”
“I read this book when I was in my late teens and already in a lot of trouble. This book would of probably done me some good if I had read it when I was in Junior High. If you found this book interesting then you may want to read "Survivor" I Changed my biography which will be releasing this year. I'm leaning toward the fall. The book is very relevant with current times, and it is also a self help book as well. I just don't show my my life and the bad I've witnessed, but I alos show how I picked up the pieces. Which I think is way more important than anyones struggle.”
“It is a book that should be read in high school because of how straight forward it is. I loved this book. It's a more real, more culturally based in setting and era, and a more humanistic/universal, story than A Million Little Pieces. ”
“I agree SexxxyReader. I think this book shoild be read by every male teen. I plan to have both my son's read it, they're at the right age where I think they'll understand the message. It's an excellent book, one I think I'll re-read soon”
“I agree. I read the book when I was in high school and have loved it since. It gave mean idea of how other African Americans were living at the time.”
“That is so true..it should be read by highschoolers today because that is exactly where I read it and even though that a long time ago I always remember the book it was very good”
“this is the kind of autobiography that should be read by high schooler's today. Unfortunately, we seem to have regressed as a society and it is now a book that would (or is) likely be banned/censored in our public school system( too honest and straightforward). I read it at 13 yrs old and was deeply effected. Recently gave it to my own teen children and they also thought it was amazing, it gave them a feel for earlier poverty and they can see how things have evolved.”
“This book i took from the bookshelf of my father. My father took evening classes to learn to read. I was a drop out. This book inspired my. It takes you through all the mind traps of not beleaving in yourself. It learns you, that there is only one person in your life, that can prove all the other meanings of you wrong. That is yourself. ”
