Convince us to read the book: The plot development was alright, a bit uneven as this book was a compilation of memoirs. I liked how the memoirs, while all connected due to their topics, could be read out of order or even stand alone.
Memorable or Forgettable: The narration of this book was unnecessary and slightly offensive. All of these memoirs were powerful and could speak for themselves. The narrator implied as though the reader needed a translation for theses memoirs. The narration greatly diminished the book and caused me to not finish reading the book.
Cover: The cover was quite good and accurately reflected the contents of the book.
