This book took me a bit of time to get through, but it was definitely worth the read. It's an extensive description of Mandela's life, from his childhood all the way to his post political struggles against AIDS. The author did a great job detailing who Mandela is as a person, and not just what he did. It was most interesting to learn not just about his incredible strengths and positive attributes, but to see his weaknesses and the mistakes that plagued him during and after his time in office. His love life, while at times very sad, also helped to keep the book extremely interesting. Overall, the book portrays Mandela's amazing journey through life, and the ways in which he succeeded and failed in attempting to shape his country for the better.
