important book, not well written
Mandela's story is so important that I waded through his book, even though it was long and dull.

Beautifully written, gripping, inspiring tale
At first glance, this large autobiography may appear intimidating and, given its' content, morbid. But this read is refreshing, never boring and among the most inspiring books I have ever read. Mandela is an excellent writer and the story is one of unbending faith and courage. The struggle is his life; wow what a journey! I agree with the Boston Globe: Mandela is one of the most important figures of our time; this book should be read by everyone.

An inspiration and a lesson in persistence
Long walk to freedom is an epic autobiography that chronicles the trials and tribulations of Nelson Mandela's life and fight against apartheid. The sacrifices and hardships of Mandela's ten thousand days of imprisonment is mixed with friendships and simple pleasures all leading to the happiness with release and victory. It is an inspiration to all on how persistence, belief in justice and hope can take us through the hardest of times and make us stronger.

Nelson Mandela's inspiring autobiography
Reading this firsthand, contemporaneous account of Nelson Mandela's life is an extraordinary opportunity. Mandela, a South African freedom fighter and a political prisoner for 27 years, tells his own saga of how he helped his black countrymen throw off their apartheid chains, how the African National Congress waged and won its struggle, and how he became his nation's first black president. Learn all this and more, directly from the living legend who brought it to pass. getAbstract recommends this compelling autobiography, an inside view of South Africa's struggle and the revered Mandela's unique political life.

THE FIRST PAGE OF "THE SWORD"
There was an errie glow coming from the campfire we sat around, there were only four of us stephen(me) max samantha and last but not least lindsey, we wre all pretty good friends. H see usually we wouldn't be the ones to be going to a mignight campfire. But to night was a special night , tonight would be californas only meteor shower of the year and we werent about to miss that. "What time is it" lindsey asked? "Eleven fifty" samantha answered glancing at her phone. "So ten minutes" max said, the meteor shower was schedueled for 12 pm "what do you guys want to do for the next ten minutes" i asked "s'mores" max suggested. "I've had enough smores for one day" lindsey answered. H ten minutes later sure enough there was a campfire, thats not even the wierdest part. One of the meteors flew straigt for are tent. It's just a lucky thing samantha saw it coming for us." Watch out"! She yelled. We all got out safetly, but the tent wasn't that lucky the tene got demolished we walked carefully toward the landing. And sticking out of the rock were two swords......

Compelling!
It had my interest from the first page. Loved reading it. If you have been to South Africa and visited many of these places - it's even better. It helps explain the significance of the tribes in Africa. If you haven't been Jo'Burg and the Apartheid Museum & Robbin Island - put them on your list.

Definitely everybody HAS to read this book.
Wow, what can I say this man is incredible. What a life he has led. It certainly has not been boring. He is something else and such an inspiration. To have survived all those years in Jail and to come out of it still smiling is incredible. I am in awe of Nelson Mandela and this book has to be read by everybody even if it is just once in your lifetime. We do not realise how very lucky we are to be living in these times and in the U.S.A. were freedom is often taken for granted. I can not believe how discriminatory people were in his day and how awful a human being can be treated. I applaud Nelson Mandela for standing up for his rights and for others too. He is certainly a man we will never forget and will always be a part of history. An amazing read and a very long one too. You will not be disappointed. Sometimes it got very intense but I couldn't put the book down. Just incredible.

Highly recommended
I am only on page 150, but this is one of the best books I have read. My blood boils with people's feelings of superiority.
