Finally, I finished reading this book! But I just got it with the help of an audiobook. I feel that my knowledge of English is improving every day, but sometimes I get tired of studying a foreign language on my own.

Who is Muhammad Ali is an amazing book about Muhammad Ali's whole life. It is a great book for anyone who loves to learn and read about other people's life. I recommend this book to anyone who likes non-fiction books and biographies. Who is Muhammad Ali tells about his triumphant victory over George Foreman in 1974, how he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and why he joined the Nation of Islam as well as why he changed his name from Chassis Clay to Muhammad Ali. So if you want to read and learn about Muhammad Ali, I recommend you should start reading Who is Muhammad Ali?

"Who is Muhammad Ali?" was a great book about the life of Cassius Clay, who later changed his name to Muhammad Ali, because on his religion. It explained his young boy years to the times of him winning heavyweight championships. If you like stories about boxing and competition, this is the perfect biography for you.

I really like the way the writer describes the good and bad impacts he makes. Celebrities back then are known for their good things and the bad things they did are just news. For an example, Muhammed Ali was sent to jail for 5 years because he wouldn't fight for America against Vietnam. That lost him his one and only boxing title.

This is a very thorough telling of Muhammad Ali's life. Muhammad Ali had many accomplishments and made many changes (both personally and socially) throughout his life. Though this book paints a picture of Ali as a champion but not a great man of character (if you prefer those who are humble) it creates enough connection for sympathy to be felt by the end of the book. I am not a fan of Ali's attitude as a boxer but I think that over all he had a thoughtful career and life and I think this is reflected in this book.

I used this book for my 5th grade class read-aloud. My students responded very well to this book and it was a great read for Black History month. They loved the pictures and the extra inserts on subjects such as boxing and the Vietnam War. My students were coming to me everyday excited to learn more about him.

This was a good book. My 10 year old was a little disappointed that it wasn't more clear on the difference between Islam and the Nation of Islam.
-
Another enjoyable quick read of one of the greatest athlete in the twentieth century. This series is so well done.

The liked the book much more than I like the boxer. I remember Cassius Clay as a Olympic Champion and Mohammad Ali the professional boxer. His arrogance and pride fed an over enlarge ego that is was difficult for me to cheer for him. He was an incredible fighter filled with hand speed and fantastic ring movement. I enjoyed watching him fight until he won, but the before fight trash talk and the post fight gloating just turned me off.
The short biography for young readers recounted his life with accuracy and tactfulness. Cassius' turn from Christianity and Muhammed's embracing of Islam was explained in the context of racial tensions and Ali's desire for equality. Ali's many marriages and children made me feel sorry for the instability that seemed to be part of his experience. His final bout with Parkinson's Disease was sad as well. I remember seeing him on TV during the lighting of the Olympic torch and wondering how such a great athlete could deal with a physically debilitating situation.
