Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Summary: A good enlightenment for children nowadays.
Review: We had to read the book for our literature course, and we found it a good one. Although there are many books written about this subject, it stays interesting. We can't imagine how white people can act this way towards others, but since it is a childrens book it is an enlightenment for young children nowadays.

Summary: this book is really stupid
Review: I had to read this book for 9th grade Advanced English and it was really boring. It was pure torture to get up and read the thing. Maybe if I had read it when I was 8, I would have enjoyed it, but for now, it's on my list of "Most Awful Required Reading Books".

Summary: This book is Kind of Boring
Review: This book is a book I read for my literature book in school. It is about some black people who own this land and have many conflicts with white people. The ending is really good but the rest is a little boring.

Summary: Read this book right now.
Review: I had to read this book for school and I really think more people should. In this book you really see what the differences between black and white people are. The reason I appreciated this book is that it gives you a clear view on how black people were treated (even now there're still people who treat black people badly). I think that you can decrease racism by showing people how it is to be discriminated. By reading such a book you can show them this and I think you'll have to start at an early age with this. The reason: children of now are the future of you and me. All in all I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in this subject or has to read a book (for example for school) about this subject.

Summary: Sad and realistic, but beautiful
Review: Cassie Logan is a nine-year-old coloured girl, who can't accept the fact that white people rule the world. It's hard for her to realise that some people are mean to her and her family, simply because of their skin colour. Mildred D. Taylor describes beautifully how most coloured people were treated those days. Some gave in, others stood up to them and paid for it, while some did nothing at all. It's amazing how well most of the characters stand out clearly. Most of them are very different, so you can imagine how different coloured people would have handled the same situation. I recommend this book to read. YOU WON'T FEEL THE SAME AFTER YOU FINISHED IT!

Summary: I really liked the book
Review: I liked the book 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry'. I liked it, because it gives a clear picture of what it was like for blacks to live in the south of America. I liked the bit where Cassie pretends to be Lillian Jean's friend, because she gets back at Lillian Jean for the time that Lillian Jean's father made Cassie apologize for bumping into Lillian Jean. The book is also about friendships between all kinds of people. For example, T.J. and Stacey, Mr. Morisson and Papa. Some of the friendships are good, but some are bad. I really liked the book and I would recommend it to everybody.

Summary: wonderful book would to tell others to read it for content
Review: I loved reading this book there were so many hidden details in it that made it impossible to put down. All the little details made the book so absolutely wonderful to read. Now I have to find the sequils!!!! It's just so wonderful that it's hard from keeping the beens in the sack so to speak. I want to tell! 5 stars all the way!!!

Summary: The book was sort of nice.
Review: The book was nice, but I won't go further than that. The book is well written and the characters are realistic but I am not all too interested in racial problems. In Holland we don't discriminate too much so it is pretty far off for me. Still the book was enjoyable to read and it could make me angry or happy sometimes. I am a bit annoyed by the political-correct aura that hangs around this sort of books: if you dont like this book then you're a racist. But when you like the subject and/or Oprah Winfrey this book shall do very fine. P.S. I is we and we were sent by J. Mulder.

Summary: This book left me hanging on the edge of my seat!
Review: This book is very interesting. I had to read it for a school project and i'm glad i picked this book because it really helped me realize what the blacks really had to go through and that wasn't even 1/2 of it. I recommend it to everyone because it was such a heart warming book.

Summary: It was a great book
Review: This is a great book. The more you read the more suspenseful and interesting it got. It is sad though that the ending just leaves you hanging on how they're going to get through the summer. This book is very well written. I think the way they showed the racism is just amazing. It shows that the white people in the 1930's thought just because their skin is white they are superior over black people. It is just terrifying the torture the whites put the blacks through.
