I am indifferent towards this book. I did not find it particularly compelling but it wan't poorly written or boring. It picked up as it went along but I struggled to complete it. The kit is good with many resources.

Great book, fantastic story. Very important piece of literature.

An amazing book.

nice

this book changed my views on life and the value of Being a colored black woman in america .As well as being a Chirstan . This book addresses many issues and taboo topics .The main one that i found intresting was How much does a awoman need a man ? Alice walker did a wonderful job !! Shows true sisterhood in all styles shapes and forms

Good book! Enjoyed the ending a great deal. Found some of the events unrealistic given the setting and year. Poor grammar, syntax etc. of the main character which was frustrating though obviously done for effect - got used to it a short way in though. A nice story about the potential for human change.

This book is an astounding piece of fiction. Alice Walker introduces us to Celie and her sister, Nettie, who after being forced apart by Celie's husband, live completely opposite lives. Although the movie version of this story elaborated on the novel's original story, I feel that the movie is one of the best films ever made because of Walker's strong characters, historical reference, and, not to mention, some absolutely brilliant acting.

Lovely book.
