'The Sixteenth round is a timeless, eye-opening portrait of growing up black in America, a scathing indictment of the U.S prison system, and the mesmerising re-creation of Hurricane's battles in the ring and in the courtroom. The power of Carter's voice, as well as his ironic humour, makes this an eloquent, soul-stirring account of a remarkable life.'
I'd seen the film years ago and heard the song by Bob Dylan but have been waiting to buy the book when I had enough funds. So, my boyfriend bought this book for me as a surprise and I can't wait to read it! Thank you Daniel Haigh! ♥
