    <body><![CDATA[I loved the book!  As in &quot;Their Eyes Were Watching God&quot; Hurston has drawn a vivid, moving picture of rural black life in the early 20th century.  The dialect, the customs, the life-style is beautifully depicted - at once humorous and evocative.

    <body><![CDATA[I was a bit disappointed in this book - I've been wanting to read &quot;Their Eyes Were Watching God&quot; for awhile and I found this one (her first book) at the library.

    <body><![CDATA[My least favorite of the Hurston books I've read.  I used to have a taste for depressing books, but this one is just too depressing.  What's worse is that it's based on the story of Hurston's parents.  The first half of the book really drew me in, but by the end I did't much like it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first Zora Neale Hurston book I have ever read, and it rocks like a Barack Obama speech. <br/><br/>It may take some getting used to reading the Black vernacular, but once the rhythm is there the book flies.<br/><br/>I LOVE this book!]]></body>
