Summary: [A] Review ...
Review: Roll of thunder Hear My Cry is a great book for all kids teens and adults. It gives detail of how blacks and whites treated each other and how they got their food, clothes and this they needed to live. The risks the Logan's had to take were very difficult and resulted in pain and trouble.
I really enjoyed this book because you wouldn't know what was going to happen next. They're where a lot of turning points in the book. It shows how the whites got brand new items for school. Then the blacks got everything that the whites had already used.
In this book some whites are friends with the blacks. When this happens it occurs to me that the white almost betray the blacks. They would be "friends". Say there was a white walking with a black and his friend. Then that friend said something mean or rude to the white. Then the white would be mad at both blacks, and vice versa. Now if you think of it it's not really fair to the ones that are really friends. That is something that takes place often in this book.
I think the best part of this book was when it explained everything into the last bit of detail you could get. Mildred Taylor wrote a well-written book. I read The Watson's Go to Birmingham, 1963 but it was almost nothing compared to this book. I read this book twice and enjoyed it both times. I recommend it to anyone who likes good detailed books with lot of excitement.

Summary: a Review
Review: Overall it was a good book, but it isnt something i would take off the shelf and read. I think that this book should be read in eight grade everywhere, because it was a good book and showed hoe bad days were back in the old days. This book taught me how bad things could getlike if a African American did something bad they could get killed.I also know about the hardships they had to go through every day to survive, like papa had to go to the railroad each year so the family had enough money to survive. They had to also work out in the fields and grow cotton, and it was still hard for them to get by. So because of this book i know how bad it was for blacks. In conclusion i give this book 3 stars because it was boring but it also taught me alot of what was going on during this time.

Summary: [A] Review
Review: The book, Roll of Thunder, Hear my cry, is a compelling novel about the lives of a struggling black family. The Logans live in the south at a time where it's not too safe to be black and they have to be extra careful at all times. Their family is more vunerable because Papa is away, working to support the land. The land that they own by themselves, with no help from any white men, which at this time is unusual. But now their normal rountine will soon be ruined by a series of events which is about to change the lives of the Logan family. Nothing now will ever be the same for Cassie and her family and soon Cassie is going to realize it. She has her eyes opened to the the horrific world of racism. The sequel to this book is called Let the circle be unbroken. It's a continuation to the cliffhanger that the book Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry ends with.

Summary: A must-read novel!
Review: Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry was an excellent book based on the reconstruction period in the United States. The book is based on an all black family trying to get through hard times. You feel along with the characters throughout the book. It is humorous, exciting, sad, happy, adventurous and at times boring like life itself. You will ride the roller coaster of a plot through its ups and downs and constant twists that leave you wondering what just happened. The author, Mildred D. Taylor is an artist. She does a brilliant job painting a beautiful picture in your mind of the setting and the main events. Her descriptions will capture you in the book as she makes constant metaphors reflecting nature so you will understand the fundamental values of the people of this harsh time. As you read along you will want to fix the past for theses characters. You understand their anger and gloom yet when you finish reading it, the author leaves the ending open so that you can come to your own assumption. This makes the novel extremely well written. The book was also interesting because it shows things that were valued at that period of time from family, work, food and even cars. Throughout the book you will learn of economics and politics and also about the history of this period of time. The story is very moving it isn't just one specific type of book like just romantic or adventurism. It's a mixture of everything, which makes even the pickiest reader enjoy it. I highly recommend this book so people can learn from a non-fictional point of the history of a very important event that started the new era in the way America is. Have a great time reading it!

Summary: Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry Review
Review: I give this book which is about a black family named the Logans a three star rating because although I feel that it is a good book, it had some major faults.The reason I say this is because the book had a very solid plot but, there were some rough patchs that I had ( especially the beginning) which I really had to work through. The story is about an African-American family who lived in the south and had to deal with many discriminating issues.
The Logan's live in a sheltered black community, so when Cassie , Stacey, Christopher John, and little man find what blacks are really treated like, they were astonished and couldn't believe the cruelty that blacks faced just because of the color of their skin. The story is done in a first person point of view and nine year old Cassie is telling the story as she is grown up and educated.
This is a book that I would definitely recommend to others because it really educates you about what life was like in the 1930's in the south. Even if you know all about civil rights I still suggest you read this enriching and suspenseful book. The rough patches in the beginning are definitely something you can work through, and you will be glad you did . If you have already read this book there is a sequel called "Let the Circle be Unbroken".

Review: I rate this book as a 4 star beacuse i like how the took the time to describe things that were hard to picture in your head.This book is like the book freedom crossing which is another book about about poorly treated African Americans.I also like how they took the time to go through not only the tough times in their lives but their schooling and life at home on the farm. Also how about how when father got shot everyone in the family pitched in and help him get better and get the work done at home.I like when they went through the steps about how different things heppend.Also how when they went places they didn't say much and parked near teh back to stay out of trouble.also when they discribed how people faced and treated the African Americans.Also how they got whiped and beaten for disobaying there elders.

Summary: Brett's Review
Review: I'm writing this review on the book called Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry. I really don't understand the title. I can't tell you anything about what it means because it would be a "spoiler" and give it away! I sort of liked this book and disliked it. I liked it because it has a good story line and I like uncle hammer because he's a pyscho. I also disliked the book because it had alot of of unneeded parts. I suggest this book for anyone who likes a book about black history of something like that. I go to sum this up so this book is a good book if you have free time on your hand.

Summary: Cody's review for Mrs.Darraghs class
Review: This book is about some African American family that live in a very racist town and white people make them pay more for products and treat them like they are trash and don't deserve to live there. They go through the harsh times and the good times. I think that this is a very fine piece of writing for a pretty old book. I also think that the plot is very good. The story about the young children and TJ make a good story. It brings you through the bad and good parts of this brief two year blimp of their life. I think that this book has earned its title as a Newbury Honor Book. I would reccomend this book to anyone that just wants to read a very good book. It has action and drama. The part's in the story with there Uncle Hammer really shows how "tight" the family is and how they would give up anything for anyone in there family. The Watsons Go To Birmingham is also a good book about a middle 1900's black family on a trip to Birmingham.

Summary: Matt's Review...
Review: "Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry" is an interesting book written by Mildred D. Taylor. Set back in the 1930's. The main characters (a black, poor family) are struggling to keep their land and house. Their sharecropper (rich white man) is trying to protect his land and their house. There's always talk about the KKK and other racusts groups throuought the town. The family goes up to a local town "Strawberry" every weekend to get food, supplies and go to the bank to talk to their lawyer. Half way through the book we see signs of racism at the kids school, the mother is fired and the dad is as well. Uncle Hammer, their rich uncle, comes down to help protect the family and lend some money. He also helps doing some heavy work, because he is very strong. Sooner than expected much confusement comes over the fanmily. Over all I give this book 3 stars out of 5 and I reccomend it to kids of the ages 12-14 who are studying American History and wish to learn about Black History. I didn't particuarely like it but the book did have a good story and context to go with it. -Matt
