Becoming Muhammad Ali
Becoming Muhammad Ali | James Patterson, Kwame Alexander
7 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
From two heavy-hitters in children's literature comes a biographical novel of cultural icon Muhammad Ali, jointly published by Jimmy Patterson Books and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books or Young Readers. Before he was a household name, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly depict his life up to age seventeen in both prose and verse, including his childhood friends, struggles in school, the racism he faced, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about Cassius' family and neighbors in Louisville, Kentucky, and how, after a thief stole his bike, Cassius began training as an amateur boxer at age 12. Before long, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali. Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad Ali estate, Becoming Muhammad Ali dynamically captures the budding charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports heroes of all time.

This was a quick listen this afternoon while I worked in the garden and took a walk. The sections from Lucky‘s point of view were an interesting contrast to the first person point of view of the Cassius sections. The Cassius sections were written with Kwame Alexander‘s wonderful rhythm and fit perfectly . Kwame Alexander is a great narrator, but I do wish there had been some kind of acknowledgment when switching between the points of view.

I am a little trepidatious that Patterson's name is attached to this, but I am sure Kawme can pull it all together.

A fictionalized biography. hopefully its good.
