Melanin Man Series It was really a roller coaster and page turner. It was intriguing from the very start and well worth the read. The story's main character was particularly interesting. The Adventures of Melanin Man is truly a book showcasing a melting point of culture. I must say that at first the name seemed so farfetched and it appeared like this would be just another book but it really exceeded expectations. It indwells a new sense of pride to recognize what power lies within yourself. I particularly like a book that causes one to spend time in quiet contemplation and this is exactly what this book did to me. Alfred Porter in this book shows we can create a better world in the spirit of love and togetherness as demonstrated by the major characters in the book.
