King's family life, childhood, and schooling are described, along with the major events that established him as a leader. The information provided is general, and terms that readers might not understand are fully explained. Some interesting facts about King are revealed, e.g. his achievement test during his freshman year in college indicated that he was four years behind in reading. Numerous photographs supplement the text, which is arranged in an attractive manner. This book is a good, basic introduction to King and should be given high consideration for purchase. --Jeanette Lambert, LaVega School, Waco, TXBook Details
