the book muhammad ali was great for 2 reasons. one reason is that in the book he talked about his childhood and his home life. another reason is that it talks about his boxing career and all the great boxers he faced in his life.

Muhammad Ali

This book is about Muhammad Ali's life. Muhammad Ali was born on January 18, 1942. When Cassius "Muhammad" Ali was 25 he got arrested for saying that he would not go to the war when he got recruited to the army. I thought this book was good because I like to learn about facts and people.

If you are doing a report on Muhammad Ali then this would be a good book, also its a good book to just read for fun
