The Narrarator made it incredibly difficult to want to listen to the book. It seems as though English is not his first language as he stumbled through the reading as if he'd just learned to read. I can appreciate someone learning the enligh language however to read as a narrator I believe that should be an essential foundation that is solid. Many of the words he'd say were mispronounced especially "Tuskegee" being that this was a fundamental part of Mr. Washington's book/life I feel like that should've have been properly pronounced at the very least.

This is a great book! Should be a must read for ever high school student.

I love this book, but the narrator was so hard to understand I didn't make it more than several minutes into the book when I had to stop.

Oh wow, oh wow! What an excellent read. This should be required reading for all Americans regardless of skin color.
