Summary: A boring book that I wish I never had to read.
Review: This book started out slow and didn't get much better as it went on. I have a month to read it and every time I picked it up I couldn't keep reading fo more than several pages. I thought this book was very boring with very few interesting parts and I would have never read this book if I had a choise.

Summary: DEEP!!
Review: This book was so lyrical,and so profound... I had to read it twice! You know how you read something and when you're done you just think "WOW!" Yeah, well this is like that. It can be difficult sometimes, but everything she talked about, growing up and coming of age in the civil rights era, interracial dating, it was all handled with depth and care. You'll really feel for the characters when you read this book. Beautiful

Summary: This was an intense, thought-provoking novel.
Review: Walker gives a personal, human side to the Civil Rights activism of the 1960's. Her tales are ones only a participant of the period could relate, and she speaks to a wider audience than just women or African Americans. It delves beyond black and white tv footage of Dr. King and SNCC leaders and let's the readers see inside the minds of those "living" in that period.
