Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Clarence Thomas - My Grandfather's Son Comment: I've never read a book so quickly as I read this one. Many emotions even for the reader. Thomas reveals feelings most of us hide. He also names names in government revealing truth unlike I have ever read before. Thomas and integrity go hand in hand and he shines a light for African Americans. Customer Rating: Summary: Fascinating Autobiography Comment: I rarely read autobiographies, especially of recent or current figures under the assumption history has not had time to judge the value of the person. I made an exception for Clarence Thomas and I am quite glad I did. The story of his life is fascinating and educational. His upbringing in the segregation of Savannah to his time in college and law school to the early parts of his career in Missouri are fascinating. Justic Thomas' insight into his views of the world and how they were formed add to the book and provide a rare insight into a person who sits on our highest court. His later career, and the expression of opinions and views different from prevailing wisdom is especially interesting at this time when prevailing wisdom may threaten those with dissenting views. In some cases he may be right and in some he may be wrong, but the courage with which he approaches and maintains his views in this book and in his actions as head of the EEOC, as a judge and as a justice have built my respect for him. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who disagree with some of Justice Thomas' decisions. Customer Rating: Summary: Not at all what I expected Comment: Not at alll what I expected. I felt he dealt too much on the racial profiling. I never bother to care regarding someone's color or culture; but this book was too obvious. Customer Rating: Summary: My Grandfather's Son by Clarence Thomas Comment: This was given as a gift and the recipent said it was truly a wonderful book. Customer Rating: Summary: Prompt delivery Comment: This book arrived first of the four I had ordered. A very prompt and speedy delivery.
