At first I did not understand the book, but i soon got into the whole swing of it. I loved how the author looked into the past, seeing all the characters really helped me understand. It is a chilling story of a girl who just wanted to fit in and live a normal life. It is a ouching story, beautifully written, it speaks for all the black people who have suffered and who still suffer today. The author created an amazing story that has changed my life.

I'm 13. I read it for a book report and I liked it because it enlightens you to what went on in the world just 60 years ago. I would definitely reccomend this book

A SIMPLE BOOK! The only profound effect it might make on someone would have to take effect on someone who has experienced the same type of pains as the characters. I was not terribly bored, yet I would not neccessarily recomend it. Though, I am only a 18-yr. old white girl without the experience of a segregated society. Even without the experience, I do not feel I have been enlightened to anything new.

I liked the book, but the flashbacks got kind of confusing. TM is a goodn writer and expresses her point very well. I had to read this book as a project, and as it turned out, I liked it. The main themes of Racism, and Racism within a race are articulated nicely. Me being black I can totally understand TM's point of view. The vulgarness of this book is somewhat deep, and unecessary. Still though, GOOD BOOK.

i thought this book was pretty good. Although the sexual abuse and language was hard to read about. But, other than that I thought that this was a good book and it had a good ending.

I am giving this book a four because it was excellent it was written well. I think that if your interested in this type of book (about problems some people go trough) that you should read it for sure. I didnt like the way that Toni talked about pointless things at times but it was very intertaining and i enjoyed it.

The general story was great. But when I read it all i could see was sexual abuse, girls becoming women, and just gross things; Then at the end of the book it actually talks about 'BLUE EYES' go figure
