Evet, bu tam bir inek kitabı. Süper yoğun ve kapaktan kapağa okumak için 3 yılın daha iyi bir kısmını aldım, ancak Ebola virüsü ve Mad Cow Disease korkutma taktiklerinin ötesine geçerek mikropların dünyayı nasıl yönetebileceğini tanımlamak için korkutuyor.

harika olduğunu duydum, Bay Brown ile aynı liseye gittim (Kelt ile harika bir ilişki yok) ve onunla birkaç kez tanıştım, belki de onu almalıyım ...

As a military brat I could easily relate to these stories.

Scott O'Dell broke me on children's literature. His stories are filled with strong characters - often female - from outside of mainstream American history, characters who often were forced to grow up fast and did so not effortlessly, but with success. This book was no exception.

** spoiler alert ** The sadness of this story is palpable as a black girl is raped by her father and her babies given away to another family; she is led to believe they are dead. The one light in her life--her sister--is banished from their home after she fights off her brother-in-law's advances. Celie's story is told in diary form, where she sometimes addresses God about the big problems or small joys in her life. Her independence is born little by little, as she surrounds herself with strong women like Sophia and Shug. The pain of Celie's story is worth the pay off at the end, when she is reunited with her beloved sister and her grown children. There was a big stink about how this book negatively portrays African-American men, which is silly because this book can't be seen as a blanket indictment against ALL African-American men, just the ones in Celie's little corner of the south. I don't care for all of Alice Walker's books, but this book is a must-read.
