 An excellent autobiography of the great man of this century Jan 27, 1999
A book which influenced the way I think and view life. There is no other book of its kind. An autobiography of a man who defeated an empire with his non-vilence and without a blood shed. Great reading and very moving for all those who love truth and humanity

Extraordinary Book Written by an Extraordinary Man Mar 05, 2009
By Jane Olson
An Autobiography or The Story of my Experiments with Truth by Mohandas K. Gandhi. Published by MobileReference (mobi).
This book tells of Mr. Gandhi's early life, something most biographies skip choosing to focus on his life in India. Great historical detail of colonial India, living in England and South Africa. A must read for anyone interested in Mr. Gandhi or that period of history. A very spiritually uplifting book.

 Gandhi's Autobiography Sep 08, 2002
By Jasleen Matharu
This would be a challenging read for readers not familiar with the Indian history. Readers who want to read about life of Gandhi will also find this book incomplete since it was published in 1927 and he continued to live for over two decades after that. Most of his more important work was done after 1927. Nonetheless, this is a good insight into Gandhi, the man rather than Gandhi, the public figure. Gandhi speaks of his evolution into a public figure and his personal experiments. Reader will find contradicting aspects in his personality as he tries to be modest yet appears to be self-glorifying; he ends up compromising the quality of writing. Much of the book is about his experiments with his diet and thus becomes a bit repetitive (and some of the information is quite unnecessary). It can also be a bit confusing since it does not conform to the chronologic pattern as he seems to be jumping time with some of his chapters. He does not give dates at most places making the read more inconvenient. The reader is expected to be familiar with some of his major works and movements thus are not provided a background. This autobiography reads more like a personal journal than a text. For people who want a broad picture of his life I suggest that you consider a biography by a different author.
Inspirational, thought provoking Feb 01, 2010
By R. Brooks
"Ironwood"
Nothing better to find about the life of a man than to hear him tell his story - especially with someone as honest and self aware as Ghandi. He doesn't seem to hold anything back whether it makes him 'look' good or bad. I am a better human for having read it.
