really liked it

This was a long book. I had to fight the fatigue, but I could get through it because I learned a lot from it.

How lucky of you to know the writer!, especially one so lauded.

Thanks for the tip about Ali. Hadn't known about that book. This was my first by Eig. I just borrowed it and am excited to read it. Ali was another one who is larger than life, and I would love to know more about him.

Fiza Pathan Wonderful choice Hannah! I just got this one from the American Library at the Embassy & I'm hoping to get into it soon. I was waiting for it for the longest time ever! Glad you found this one enriching in spite of the fatigue & rewarded it 4 stars. Hope your next biography is a winner with a full 5 on 5 experience! Happy Reading to you always! Have a lovely weekend! Mine is all 'booked'! :)

Hi Fiza. Very good book, but dense. I was running out of time to return it to the library. So I rushed it. Learned a lot, but would have preferred to take my time with it. Hope you enjoy it!
