Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Superstar a.ka. janel NIU student
This book was every interesting. After coming along reading, it all became to make since. The different writings in, "The Color of Water"
book is illistrating the different voices of Ruth and James. The way that I read the book to understand it was by reading all of James version. Then I read Ruthie's part of her life. This book makes you think about two things at one time. I would recommend this book to a friend and tell thm about it; that is if they don't understand.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by NHL
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYONE THAT DID NOT LIKE AT LEAST ONE THING ABOUT THIS BOOK. I WAS INTERESTED AND LIKED HOW HE TIED THE TWO BOOKS TOGETHER.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Yanelle
This is such a wonderful book! I loved it, and although it can get a little slow, the book moves along pretty well. If you are thinking about reading it, I definately say you should.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Kerstin fenton

Five thumbs up! An amazing book, that brings you inside their story, and all the obstacles they faced, it makes you really be thankful for what you have.
