Autobiography

Tedious, self-contradictory and generally disappointing autobiography. It might be that the intended audience of this book are young people in India, but even so, I had higher expectations. Recommended read for anyone who regards him as a saint and not merely a mortal who learns from his mistakes, experiments with several practices and fights for an idea (or a few actually).
Gandhi (the 1982 film), though it's from a different perspective and captures only a certain stage of his life, does a much better job at depicting his character and his fight for freedom than does Gandhi in his own words.
Impressive personality, poor writer.
