Better, Not Bitter

When I saw that Yusef Salaam wrote a memoir, I was excited. I rushed out to purchase it, then pushed it ahead of all my “to be read” pile. Yes, I watched the Netflix series, but was ready to hear from one of the exonerated five. This book is not a memoir at all. It was more like a self help book for newly released inmates. And although nothing is wrong with that, it was not what I expected. It was repetitive and I had to try hard to stay focused. He talked about religion for most of the book. It's a great book for someone, just not for me. Much respect to Yusef.
