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?

.........did you know she killed TeaCake? how can you say she has been put into a more comfortable prison? unlike her other 2 husbands. the first 1 Logan Killicks was basically nothing all he did was just order her around. it was a marriage she had to go into because her grandma was soon to die. and Logan out of many Black people in the area he was wealthy, owned land, about50+ acres and was farmer. But Janie didn't love him. as for her Second one Jody Starks. He was attracted to Janie because he was young and had a goal set in mind, but after they go married he became possesive and laid his hands on Janie. Janie Loved him but then he Died. So Tea Cake Janie's last love yeah he was young, and Janie was 40 years old now..sure why can't she fall back and love again? it's been awhile..and she found something in teaCake that the others didn't was the respect for her, yeah later on his colors came out..stripped Janie's money. and abused her in so many ways..he got bit by a rabid dog. and got rabies..he got sick and went crazy..almost killed Janie accusing her of cheating so Janie shot him to save her life and to save pain from TeaCake. I think you really have to understand the concept of the book and read through it to grasp the liking of the book.
