I had to read this book for my 11th grade English class, and I can seriously say this is the first book I've read that I liked. I've never been into reading much and only do it if I have to, but I finished this book in 2days and I'm glad I got a chance to read it. I would suggest it for anyone because it's a sad story when she is put on trial. But it is also happy because she finds love.

These cliff notes are written very well and have nice summaries for anyone who is reading this book for school (like me!). Don't forget to read the actual book too though, you're missing out on great literature if you don't.

The book was listed as in "very good" condition. There is writing on the outside and the inside of it. I would not consider a book that is written on in several places to be in very good condition. I brought this to the attention of the seller by e-mail. The seller did not reply.

The novel is a wonderful love story but includes mystery, drama, and horror to make one of the best books I've ever read. The tale drags you in, and, although it can get tedious at times, the realistic dialect makes the characters that much more real. The revelations Janie has throughout the novel are true life lessons written in a vivid and beautiful way. I strongly suggest the novel.

i didn't think it was overly exciting. parts of it were somewhat interesting, but it just kind of went on and on. i was assigned to read this and was relieved when i finally finished it. it's supposed to be some kind of a love story, but it only tells the feelings of Janie, it doesn't "show". From a girl's point of view, i think it pretty much sucked and dont ever plan on reading it again.

I didnt actually read most of this book although it was assigned for our english class. I would say it was much too predictable because i picked up on it really well from just hearing about it. Most of my friends said that it was very sad/touching though. From what we read out loud, the dialog was hard to understand, and although there were some rascist parts, it was all in the interest of making a point about rascism, and it certainly did make some interesting points about society. The only thing that really bothered me was that she used a lot of sentence fragments. If you like to read books for fun I think that most people would enjoy it.
