I think this book is awesome by Zora neale Hurston..I've seen the movie of this but is never as good as a book. about a girl named Janie whose life has been through an obstacle from her first marriage to her last. The language in this book is awesome, has a southern accent, and the storyline is exciting as well...though I really hate books I gotta say this one is good.
Anyone else read it? |

Hated it.
I liked the dialect. It made her seem like more of a real person than a contrived character. Despite that, I didn't like Janie at all. It seemed like she was spending a lot of her time in her previous marriages attempting to break free of mens' hold on her. And then when some hot young guy comes around she retreats back into submission. Sure, he was nicer to her. But, it seemed like she was just put into a more comfortable prison than the ones she'd been in before. The angry feminist inside me gives this book a 2 thumbs down. |
