5.0 out of 5 stars FIND A PIECE OF YOURSELF, January 20, 2005

April N. Gethers "ACE G THE O.G. FROM D.C." (Fort Bragg, N.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: For colored girls who have considered suicide, when the rainbow is enuf : a choreopoem (Paperback)

This is her best book in my opion!! It has something for everyone. Full of colorful characters that everyone can relate to with a no holding back choice tongue. Travel through experiences from a woman sick and tired of hearing her man's apologies to another woman's dilemma of watching her vietnam tortured boyfriend drop their children out the window. I think the beauty of this choreopoem is that every woman finds her little gold at the end of her own rainbow. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that celebrates woman even when she is weak. Rich!, November 13, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf (Paperback)

Shange's imagery is hypnotizing. She immediately creates a realm of intimacy between you, her word, and colored girls. Shange takes you through a personal journey of yourself through the girls.
