I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Hey Zee, what did you end up thinking of this book?

It was good. I enjoyed it and highly recommend it. The prose of Angelou also has that lyrical quality to it that we know from her poetry. But couldn't help thinking it could have been better.

Have you read it yet?

I have and I enjoyed it. When I read it, someone commented that the title actually came from a poem by
Paul Laurence Dunbar, so I looked up some of his work and enjoyed some of his poems. It might be worth looking into if you have not read anything by him.
