A touching memior of the childhood that shaped the man,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Hardcover)
I LOVE this book. It is a well-written, personal account of a family. It spans from fun carefree days to the realization of prejudice. It is not about the man, it is about the boy. It was not graphic in it's description of violence and hatred, which made it completely appropriate for my six year old (who also really enjoyed the book). And the poem at the end was the perfect ending. GET THIS BOOK!

Unique Perspective,
By jeannie chang (Cal Poly Pomona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Hardcover)
I loved this book because whenever i read a biogaphy I always want to hear from someone who really knew the person and in this book by Martin Luther King's sister, Christine King Farris, I get that perspective. Farris writes beautifully and poetically about their childhood and sheds light on the experiences and influences that shaped MLK to be the great inspirational leader that he was. I highly recommend this wonderful biography!

There's no better Martin Luther King Jr. Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Hardcover)
This is a straight forward, compassionate, informational story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. His sister tells their story simply and provides perspective where Martin Luther King Jr. got many of his ideas and courage - from his dad! It is a quiet appreciation for the life the family led. I really appreciated the story and it brings a new more realistic meaning to King's life.
