WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was shot

I really liked this book because I didn't know where, who, how and when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot. But when I read this book it told me everything about him and about all the black slaves back then. I think that we should all read this book because it tells you everything you need to know of how Martin Luther King Jr. was shot. The best story element for this book is suspense because it has a lot of that in this book. Because you never know what they are going to tell you next. This was an awesome book and the author was incredible. Way to go!! Thanks for listening and I hope that it was helpful.

an awesome MLK review

I felt that this book did a really awesome job describing the people of the civil rights movement, I also felt that Jim Haskins wrote this book with very good sense of what had happened in the past. This book had wonderful characterzation by describing MLK, Malcom X, Philip A. Rhandolph ect. This book started with the slaves coming over forcfully from Africa, it descriptivly described the horribal time the slaves had to go through. It did a great time all the way up to the point where MLK was assasinated. I highly reccomend this book.

This book was great at telling who what when where & why

This book was interesting because I had no idea of how or why Dr. King was shot. I also think that Jim Haskins is a really great author! Way to go Jim and a big thanks from me!
