What Members Thought
I enjoyed the story thoroughly. I do think the author simplifies the characters and relies on stereotypes but the emotion expressed is genuine and that is what has made this book a best seller. Race relations are a tough topic and one book is not going to make things clear or better. But one more chance to examine relationships in our lives and give anyone we know the benefit is worth it.
This was a great book that really grabs your attention. It really was an eye opener. You think you have some idea as to what went on during slavery and the South, but this really paints a vivid picture as to the narrow-minded perspective people had during that time. I highly recommend this book.
The ending was a little too neat.
Great book about race relations in the South. V well written. Loved it!
