A book which influenced the way I think and view life. There is no other book of its kind. An autobiography of a man who defeated an empire with his non-vilence and without a blood shed. Great reading and very moving for all those who love truth and humanity

An Autobiography or The Story of my Experiments with Truth by Mohandas K. Gandhi. Published by MobileReference (mobi).

This book tells of Mr. Gandhi's early life, something most biographies skip choosing to focus on his life in India. Great historical detail of colonial India, living in England and South Africa. A must read for anyone interested in Mr. Gandhi or that period of history. A very spiritually uplifting book.

This would be a challenging read for readers not familiar with the Indian history. Readers who want to read about life of Gandhi will also find this book incomplete since it was published in 1927 and he continued to live for over two decades after that. Most of his more important work was done after 1927. Nonetheless, this is a good insight into Gandhi, the man rather than Gandhi, the public figure.

Gandhi speaks of his evolution into a public figure and his personal experiments. Reader will find contradicting aspects in his personality as he tries to be modest yet appears to be self-glorifying; he ends up compromising the quality of writing. Much of the book is about his experiments with his diet and thus becomes a bit repetitive (and some of the information is quite unnecessary). It can also be a bit confusing since it does not conform to the chronologic pattern as he seems to be jumping time with some of his chapters. He does not give dates at most places making the read more inconvenient. The reader is expected to be familiar with some of his major works and movements thus are not provided a background.

This autobiography reads more like a personal journal than a text. For people who want a broad picture of his life I suggest that you consider a biography by a different author.

Nothing better to find about the life of a man than to hear him tell his story - especially with someone as honest and self aware as Ghandi. He doesn't seem to hold anything back whether it makes him 'look' good or bad. I am a better human for having read it.

Outstanding read. The book was like new condition. Must read for anyone who has a heart.

This book gives you a greater insight into the life passage of a greatest man of the century. Gandhi has written in an uninhibited style and flavour. He has never shyed away from letting the user know his entire life history describing each and every minute happenings in his life. A great read for anyone

May be not a perect autobiography....

but still there is a lot to learn rom content....

can make a difference in the way a person thinks...

not great by literary standards.....

but still it manages to move you...

if its possible for a person to think the way, as written in book

Life becomes much simpler and easier...

there are some points which are utter true...like

"Human tendency is to either exaggerate,manipulate the facts according to their comfort..."

some which are hard to beleive like 999 out o 1000 diseases can be cured with out the help of allopathy......

Any way ***** from me

must read!!!!
