Compelling Bio submitted by Beth Manuel on June 22, 2018, 12:27pm This was a very honest memoir from Mr. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His insight into race relations he experienced as a child and adult was fascinating. I hadn't realized he'd written so many books already. He's a great writer and I found this book to be good for potentially reluctant readers who like sports. I liked it as an adult, though!
