I started this book about 4 or 5 times this year, usually while commuting and got a chapter in each time before drifting off, through no fault of the authors. Finally, I put on my headphones and started doing some chores at home on a cold winters day and was able to listen to it all in one sitting. (it's not a long book)
I'm sad I wasn't able to take notes or write down some of the great quotes or the parts that really spoke to me.

i really enjoyed the start of this book but I didn't personally get so much out of the later parts. it was still enjoyable and interesting, but i'm not american or religious/christian - so a lot of those parts went a bit over my head.

it was really nice to have this read by Dr Angelou's herself. She has a great voice. I liked how she was really honest about her stuff ups, I learnt a lot and it really felt like I was being told this story by my own mother figure. I'd like to read some more of her poetry :)
