Book Reviews of Manchild in the Promised Land
Book Review: A Definate "Must-Read"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book goes on my list of favorite books. It is a well told story of one's transition from being a boy to a man while trying to survive an break out of Harlem's trap. I had some trouble getting interested in the book in the beginning but once I did, I couldn't put it down. Realistic and compelling.
