Summary: An inspirational read
Review: I have taken a particular interest in reading books where the chief characters suffered abuses and overcame their traumas to become better persons in life. I am glad I did because there is so much to learn and be inspired by such books. THE USURPER AND OTHERS, WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS are amongst the titles I cherished.Also recommended: DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE

Summary: Magnificent book!
Review:
This is the most magnificent books I have read. Filled with sadness and turmoil, so full of truth....so determined. I came from a life of abuse (child). Though I have read mostly memoirs like NIGHTMARES ECHO, I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS and BEAUTY FOR ASHES to try and help aide in the healing process. I have found that this book COLOR PURPLE has also helped me in so many ways to understand the feelings that go on inside someone that comes from abuse. This is truly a page turner. So Magnificent.

Summary: "Purple-is the Best"
Review: I've seen the movie which prompted me to read the book and that it was on Oprah's BC list. However, for the first time, I can truly say that the movie was just as good as the book (usually the book is always better). An excellent keeper. Also working its way up the Oprah's list is the novel, LUST OF THE FLESH by Beverly Rolyat, an author's writing thats reminiscent to Alice Walker. An engaging, compelling, eye-opening read. Lust of the Flesh is about a corrupted district attorney who gets caught up in scandalous activities. A lot of sexually explicit material but that accounts for the theme and title of book. An excellent and enlightening read through and through. Highly recommended.

Summary: Greatest Book
Review: This is one of the greatest books of all time. This book is heart moving, truthful and extremely emotional. If you thought you had problems you didn't experience anything yet until you've read this book. It will literally leave you in tears. It is a guaranteed masterpiece. It will leave you with a different judgment about God, race, and sex. The Color Purple if not change you as a person, it will definitely change your views about your life. This would be the perfect gift to give someone.
