Gandhi (DK Biography Series) Book

This book, Gandhi is biography about Gandhi who is one of the important people in Indian history. I picked this book because personally, I really like Gandhi. In 10th grade, I learned about Gandhi and his achievement in history class. After I learned about that, I really think what Gandhi did to get back his country's freedom is great achievement. I do respect his non-violent policy and I thought people should learn from Gandhi's achievements. But, before I read this book I didn't know about his personal life since history textbook doesn't deal about his personal life. So I wanted to know his personal life such as his school life or marriage. I really enjoyed reading this book because the book is about the person who I admire. So, I could concentrate well than when I was reading other books. In addition, I was quite surprised about his personal life because I thought that Gandhi would never do bad things in his life but his actual his personal life is really interesting. I would recommend this book to people because it is easy to read. Lots of people think biography or autobiography is boring but the book is actually really interesting. Also it contains lots of photographs of Gandhi and his life so I guess people can easily understand his life. The book is well organized by several chapters and it talks about not only his historical achievements but also his personal life. By reading this book, people can get detail information about Gandhi and how India became independent from British people. Also people can easily understand his historical achievements such as non-violent policy or Salt March. The length is not that long, which is 123 pages so I think lots of people can read it easily.
