A good book to read. It will make you happy and sad. The story will make you laugh, cry, scream and shout. It is a good book for discussion groups. ( )

There is something truly poignant about this novel. It explores the harsh reality of life in the 1930's. But at the same time it manages to explore something much deeper and more meaningful. This novel deals with how a woman, who appears to have so little, can become truly rich. Celie's discoveries about family, love, and God shape something new and different for her and her life. This is a book that will definitely stick with me. ( )

I loved it! I wanted to keep reading and when it ended I wished I could read more about Nettie and Celie. The only thing I didn't like about it was when Nettie was explaining about Africa. The one time it got a little long. I enjoyed reading about Celie more. More books shold be written like this. Not everything resolved, but just knowing the characters are going to be ok. It is hard to get into sometimes because Celie doesn't know proper english. I'm so glad I read it! ( )

I loved this book! The style took a little getting used to but that just made the characters seem even more real. I was really disappointed by the film though - Celie and Shug's relationship was a key part of the book but didn't seem to feature much on screen. ( )
