I have been recommending this to everyone

This is a great book. It may make you consider transfering to Islam, and hate white people for a while, but I really learnt a lot, and couldn't put it down.

insightful

Book surprisingly goes into great detail of what it was like in black ghetto's of the 1940's America. Then it expands further and looks more broadly at the civil rights movement, in an American and International context. A incredible story well told that is thought provoking.

Also the voice acting is spot on.

Amazing.

This should be mandatory human education. Brilliantly narrated. Indispensable view into the mind of the oprresed and exploited. The world could do with more of this insight.

Excellent book.

Amazing insights into one of the most prolific minds of the last century. It's a slow burner at the start but you will find yourself playing it whenever possible.

Masterful narration

Eerily relevant today. Malcolm X portrays himself and both an inspirational revolutionary and flawed character. I’m astounded at how well he predicted the modern world now from back in 1965. He forecasts the BLM movement, woke-ness and the rise of China. Not so much the islamificafion of the USA however. Not only interesting to hear X’s perspective but also a good period piece. Lawrence Fishburne is of the highest class of narrator, he does not only narrate the work he performs it as a role and does so extremely successfully.

A must listen.

If you want to understand the true Malcolm X this book will help you to do just that.

Arguably the greatest autobiography of all time

Lawrence Fishburne delivers an incredibly moving and passionate performance of the life story of Malcolm X.

A truly in depth autobiography from Malcolm Little growing up 1920s America, to hustler drug addict 'Red' in Boston and NYC, prisoner, Islam convert and black revolutionary Malcolm X.

Essential listening for anyone even slightly interested in America's race issues, Islam, understanding the real Malcolm X and not the "Evil Black Separatist" he is often misunderstood as.

Empowering, the true pioneer of freedom

whilst a little slow to start, many of the stories and experiences the young Malcolm faces come back to either haunt or teach him at an older age.

I love how he presents the true message of Islam and shows the struggle that both black face all over the globe.

Islam is a real solution to the world's problems today in 2022 and this book held true in 1960 and today. well worth the read and potentially a chance to find the real Islam.

Brave man

Turns out Malcolm X stood for so much more than I knew. He was self made, a deep thinker and most of all, not afraid to change his beliefs in the face of new knowledge. Absolutely loved the book.
