Excellent book, fantastic narration

5 stars

I actually had to sit with this for a while, after absorbing the book. It covers the life of Malcolm X, concentrating on his time in prison. The author explains that some of the story has been edited for the drama or the flow of the story, and I appreciate that the facts can get in the way of a good story. :)

The narration and voices are very well done and compelling. I could hear the different voices and ethnicities represented.
