Nigger

the book was recommended by I think Jay-z who found it sharp and funny. Having read this book it really is a warts and all account of what it was like to be black and poor in the land of the free. At least Dick made a name for himself in America (I'd say he's virtually unknown here.I know I haven't heard of him before) which is why he has a book out This book is still humourously written even though a lot of the subject matter is quite dark (no pun intended). It's so good that it makes me want to check out Mr Gregory's comedy. Although I wold like to spread the word about this book to my friends it's still a controversial title that I can't bring myself to say it. Pity. It deserves an even wider audience.

This is a brilliant autobiograpghy and a must read book especially in current times where America seems just as racist as it ever was. Dick Gregory has a very good way with words and his commentary on the plight of the african america is both thoughtful and thought provoking in equal measure. I was shoked, angered and entertained throughout this book. Thank you Dick Gregory

He is important as a civil rights spokesman, but he is also clever and witty and inspiring. He is one of my heroes. It's a fine piece of history, and he is a rare treat.

Was waiting for this to be reprinted for 10 years and glad I did! My son aged 17 is now reading it and it's blowing his mind

Great book from a great man. Knew nothing about him, knew him after reading.

Excellant Reading

Absolutely brilliant.

A real eye opener, not finished it yet but when reading its difficult to put down. Was recommended to me by a close black friend.
