    <body><![CDATA[When I first read this book in high school, it became one of my favorites and the insights I gained from it really changed my way of thinking.  I've since read it several times, but I think my perspective has changed since I've gotten older.  I love it because it's a great commentary on the struggle...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11925463">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Because of things going on in my life, it took me a long time (relatively) to read this book - like over 2 months!!  I really enjoyed this book - though it was tough to swallow the truth and really understand the experiences of the black people, especially in the south.  I appreciated that there was...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56164746">more...</a>]]></body>
