One of her more serious books - By: , 23 Jan 2001 
Miss Maya is so wise, her books make you laugh & cry. So many statements of hers are so obviously true but they are the sort of things you don't realise yourself until you read them. I love her essay about people saying things like "I hope you don't take offense, but..." I only wish I had the courage to say the things she does!
Not as good as Even the Stars Look Lonesome, in my opinion-I would recommend that one more for someone starting out as it is more humourous & perhaps easier to read. I still loved this book.
How totally uplifting - By: , 15 May 2000 
This books is thoroughly uplifting! Whenever I am feeling down or faithless, I read it from cover to cover & I feel restored. The book is a set of chapters which describe Maya Angelou's feelings about certain things, such as the way we act towards each other, how the world has changed, how we should think about being a women (although the book is equallly suitable for male readers).
It encourages you to look at people & the world you live in with a different perspective, encouraging you to be kinder & more respectful - to yourself as well as to others. Not only is it thought provoking, it is also cheerful & funny, & Maya makes you think about God & spirituality without making you feel guilty for not worshipping every day!
An uplifting, spiritual, refreshing read.
An excellent graduation gift! - By: , 29 Apr 1999 I work with Senior High School Students & in the spring am invited to several graduation open houses. I can think of nothing better than to give each young woman a copy of this book. Ms. Angelou's spiritual, humane wisdom is exactly what I want my students to leave with. Thank you!
This book questions the soul. - By: , 10 Apr 1999 Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now is ideal for someone not familiar with Maya Angelou's writings. The author's thoughts are so simple yet her rhetoric is expressed in a dynamic an captivating style. Her work is, as always, sheer enlightenment.
Short but to the point - By: , 10 Apr 1999 Nourishing. Encouraging. Fulfilling! Do you have a copy of an excerpt from this book callled "Style" that you can forward me? I always lend my books & never seem to receive them back:-)
