Review:Raw, honest and vulnerable. That's how I would describe "The Mother of Black Hollywood", so many lessons that are applicable to us all, not just those who follow the same path as Ms. Lewis. The ability to be self aware is truly a gift and no matter when that self-awareness comes, embrace it. Own it. Love it. Read more

Review:This book was slow boring and almost painful to read. There were a few interesting points. But no real insight granted the fact that Jay-Z did not participate is a factor but fawor all the people the people the writer interviewed I just expected more. I would not suggest reading this unless your looking for a substitute for sleeping pills Read more

Review:Looking around America today, it's hard to understand what it was like to be homosexual just a few decades ago. Not to say that it's easy today, but once upon a time, one's very existence was a crime. Cleve Jones grew up in that environment, bullied and tormented even before he knew why.

Driven by the emergence of a man named Harvey Milk, Jones entered the political and social fray, becoming one of... Read more

Review:I was a bit disappointed in this book. Having read and relished The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, I was anxious to read the native narrative of another of the Founding Fathers. Unfortunately, where as Franklin's book combines delightful personal details along with perspectives on the man's government service, Jefferson's autobiography is quite dry and seems to be more an official catalog of committee deliberations than a story about his own life. The rear cover of the books states, in a... Read more
