I managed to avoid reading this book while I was at school! Why... I can only confess that I did little reading at school. What a shame. I actually got extremely engrossed in the lives of this family. I struggled to put it down. I could have easily been one of the residents in the street.
It is story of family.
It is a story of the real struggles with racism.
It is a story of friendship, love and hatred.
It tells of the importance of not judging people we don't know (or haven't even seen).
This is one of those books that I will always remember. It was so easy to become apart of the town. I shared the frustrations and joys of the characters. It was really good to sit down and read a story that was so vivid.
This is a book that I wont recommend an age for. It is totally up to the maturity of the individual and judgement to this is not mine to make.

I feel like a fraud because I haven't read this book either. (Seeing the movie doesn't really count). I really must sort out this hole in my education. All I know is that it must be good because so many people want to ban it!
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance its worth the read. I have only seen a handful of movies after reading a book and the book has always been by far superior. I haven't seen this movie but I have it on my want to watch list I hear it's good too
