This book managed to be decent in spite of itself, and that is mostly due to the charisma of Ali and the power of his words. When Ali speaks, the book soars, when the writer fills caption after caption with awkward second-person narration it slumps.

I actually had trouble reading this book for technical reasons. The print is tiny and the color is a dark sepia murk obscuring the artist's quite impressive linework. (
