For my second Black History Month 2024 pick, I chose an audiobook by a black author, read by that same author. I tend to try to go about life without getting too political, but I’m also fascinated by people who come to fame through politics. I’ve always been interested in reading this particular book, and I’m so glad I did!
This is one of those books that, when you finish it, you wonder if the good guys actually won. I had seen the film version a couple times before reading this book, but it had been years. So I really felt like I was going in fresh. Let’s just say that the title is a little misleading given that the eponymous character doesn’t really show up until the last couple chapters (his appearance in the prologue notwithstanding). A more appropriate title might be “666 Reasons Why Children Are Creepy as Hell” or something of that nature. I guess history will have to be the judge of which title is better…
