A lot of people assume they know the story of Malcolm X. I was one of those people, until I read this book. It was given to me by my friend who was cleaning out their apartment. I was bored and jumped right in. This is a first hand account from someone who is extremely open minded and lived a hectic life of change. Between robbing homes in Boston, to joining the Nation of Islam, to an eventual state of enlightenment, you will not be bored with Mr. X. PS. It is much better than the Denzel Washington movie. I recommend this if you are curious and looking for a book that you can’t put down. And if you don’t like the guy, even more of a reason to pick it up today.
