Book Review of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
reviewed on


Let me start out by saying that i love Maya Angelou as a person. I have watched her speak and i think she is an amazing woman but this book is boring. I had high expectations for this book because its considered such a great piece of American Literature but as i began to read it, i wondered why. I must admit, im gray when it comes to this book. There are some parts that bored me to death but there were some parts that i thought were really beautiful and insightful. I personally wouldn't want to read this book again but I am glad that i took the time this summer to read it.
