this is the worst book i've ever read, along with the house on mango street. i had to read this the summer before ninth grade. yes, ninth! i was THIRTEEN and i had to submerge myself in this perverted sick unhealthy (most likely drug-induced) for lack of a better word, BOOK. i was horrified, disgusted, revolted, terrified, and it was NOT a pleasant read. i couldn't even finish it. i stopped after about 100 pages, and akwardly had to tell my mom that i didn't want to finish it. she read it and agrees ...

I love this book and I would recommend anyone to read it and watch the movie.
Rating: - GREAT BOOK
I have now read this book twice, once as a high school student and then again for one of my college classes. I love this book. Each time I read it I get something new out of it. I think I is a book that once old enough everyone should give it a shot. The only bad thing is that this is a book that you either love of hate..there is no happy middle. I loved it and will no doubt read it again!
Rating: - Color Purple
Color purple was a good book to read. Though there were moments when author is taken too much steps to describe the bad life of black people at that time.

Rating: - A Hard Fought Journey
The Color Purple is about a young girl named Celie who has many hardships in her life. She goes on a spirital journey to help her find herself and a place in the world. She must overcome an abusive relationship and find her own sexuality. This book helped me realize things about human nature and also myself that I never knew were there. The emotion that is protrayed by each character, especially Celie, will leave you speechless. Definitely one of the best books I have ever read.
