BAMA BOY by Bobby Morrison is a memoir about the author's life adventures and humbling journey as he struggles through college, fatherhood, and making a name for himself. The book depicts his achievements and the detailed phases of his life. The author avoids making the book one of racial deprivation or discrimination, but rather a source of inspiration for teenagers and young adults.

The book is written in a first-person viewpoint and expresses the narrator's memories and emotions in detail. The journey begins with his childhood days playing with his younger brother Tommy Lee and ends with his glory days as a successful businessman and a good father. It speaks about his interests, dislikes, beliefs, and mindset. The book contains 16 chapters, with each chapter opening up a new phase or adventure in the course of Bobby's life. Bobby was the son of a sharecropper who had 11 children, and to this effect, he would spend most of the time picking cotton. Bobby was determined to become successful. Would he become successful? How does the son of a sharecropper plan to do that?

I liked how Bobby was so understanding about his family's condition and tried his best to help in whatever way he could. I enjoyed watching him develop a mature and responsible mindset as he grew older and handled more responsibilities. His innocence, humility, and kindness were traits that served him well in his life. I particularly enjoyed Bobby's resilience as he struggles to succeed in school despite his parents' not seeing education as a priority and how he tries to create jobs and opportunities for himself to set him apart from the others.

I do not see any reason to dislike this book. Its flow was excellent, and its plot twists were captivating as it baits you in with the suspense of what happens next in the character's life. The book is simple and entertaining. The book, however, had an emotional episode that I had to give up, and I found it a bit less engaging.

I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars because it was inspiring, and I learned a lot from observing their lives. I found no errors or profanities in the book as it was composed in a neat style and format and professionally edited. I recommend this book to a large audience as it will pique the interest of inspirational and educative book readers.
