Amazon.com
Malcolm X's searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of great autobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty with which he recounts his transformation from a bitter, self-destructive petty criminal into an articulate political activist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of white racism, and his emphasis on self-respect and self-help for African Americans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts black popular culture--try as he might to criticize those lindy hops at Boston's Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslim faith, he can't help but make them sound pretty wonderful. These are but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X limns an archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge and spiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley, "People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book," he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt to set down a personal story as an example for others. Although many believe his ethic was directly opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.'s during the civil rights struggle of the '60s, the two were not so different. Malcolm may have displayed a most un-Christian distaste for loving his enemies, but he understood with King that love of God and love of self are the necessary first steps on the road to freedom. --Wendy Smith

Malcolm X is truly a powerful, significant, and essential work for all time. Why? Because you are able to witness how a man suffered from the effects of prejudice and his whole disposition was formed from it. You see how a very angry man stays angry at the "white devils" for most of his life. However, the unique aspect of Malcolm X is that he changed his views towards the end with the realization that his religion and own understanding gave him. This book serves as a learning experience, for one learns not only about racism and a mans struggle with it, but how to listen and read with a open mind. Many people get very offended at what Malcolm says and I can relate. However, your purpose as a reader should not be to judge Malcolm, but just listen to what he has to say, and learn from his experience. Knowledge, insight, and power of personal change are all gained from this story. I cannot stress enough the importance of having his autobiography in your memory. A highly recommended read.

Malcolm X is possibly my favourite figure in North American history (though that isn't saying much ;-) and this book does him justice. While usually I stay clear of autobiographies due to there obviously subjective nature, I made an exception in this case because one of the most interesting aspects of Malcolm X , to me, was his life long intellectual development and the charismatic and powerful way in which he articulated his views. Thus an autobiography is an ideal way to get inside the mind of a person, and trace their line of thought and progress. This book does this superbly, and is both gripping and interesting throughout. It should reveal that calling Malcolm X a 'racist in reverse', would be like condemning Ghandi solely as being 'anti british', i.e. highly simplistic and greatly missing the point.
A further strength to the book is that Alex Haley provides a highly insightful biographical foreword that helps set the scene for those unfamiliar with Malcolm X. The book is at times amusing in it's anecdotes, and some of iconoclastic statements delivered by Malcolm X.
The downside of the book is that, as it is an autobiography, it lacks the third person analysis that a biography would contain, thus it doesn't really analyse issues such as who was really responsible for his assassination. It also rarely describes any media appearances Malcolm X made, thus we miss out on some of the important points Malcolm X made and believed in.
Overall I highly recommend this book, as do nearly all those who have read it.

People have made numerous attempts to analyze, classify and form theories about Malcolm X and what he stood for, forgetting that for someone of his caliber, it is not easy to do this. To even attempt to understand Malcolm X, you would have had to know of his life experiences and how they laid the foundation of what he became. This book gives you that information, and most importantly, it is from his point-of-view. That is why I believe this book gives the best analysis of who Malcolm X was and what he stood for. Malcolm X was one of the most inspiring and articulate leaders that has ever lived and this book is a testament of that. This autobiography is very powerful and for anyone looking to learn more about Malcolm X, I cannot tell you of a better place to start.
