Overall, this novel isn’t “bad” but it wasn’t MY favorite either. On a positive note the narrator was good.

I highly recommend this story. Robin did an incredible job with her and Whitney’s story. I ready to see the movie now.

This story was a bit inconsistent with the storyline. I found myself asking where are we and how do we get to this point of the book. There were a few juicy moments. The narrator did a really good job with his part. Overall, I could’ve used those 10 hours for another read.

Grown-up as a young black boy from South Carolina, I always admired Will Smith. Now as an adult, and to see how he has matriculated through life is further inspiring. The overall lesson that I got from this book is if you want to achieve something, set a goal, actively work toward it, and enjoy it when you receive it.

This is a must read/listen!

If you want to get a bit more insight on why for so many years Black people have been so angry check out this book. It’s beyond news reports. The facts are in the stats.

I did not like the fact that there were 3 books in 1. The story line at points became very confusing. There were moments in the book where I did not know which character was being narrated.

Wow. What goes around really does come back around. You have to be careful who you call "your friend."

This was a book with an awful story line. The narrator's voice was painful to listen to as he mimicked the characters voices throughout the book. Though it was not a good book, I listened to the end to see what really happened. It was such an abrupt ending.

This book is exceptional. Having Michelle Obama read this book allowed me to feel like she was telling her story directly to me. "We go high when they go low."
