Witty and funny and fast-paced!
This book was a delight. The writer can really write--I loved the phrases and language--as well as keep up the pace of a good strong plot. Also the author knows how to set a scene! I'm going to backtrack and read the rest in the series.

Excellent guide
I read Sula and I needed a little help with the symbolism used in the book and Cliff Notes have always been an excellent guide. The chapter's in "Sula" were seperated by years, and for each year there is a summary, commentary, and glossary for definitions of words and phrases. Also included is an introduction, character analyses, question, and essays for each book. I haven't read "The Bluest ...

How it is.
I love this book. The book explains the truth about how many little girls feel about their looks and about themselves, in general. This book can make you laugh and cry. This book can also, make you very confused, but at the end there is no confusing the books point about life and how a few people can ruin someone's life by selfishness or lack of compassion. I had to give it a five.

Who could ask for more out of a first time author? The characters were very well developed and real. Kennedy and Carson are made for each other and are very endearing. I liked them both. The story could actually ...

Important for those in the other 49 states to read
Be forewarned, a far-left website (BlueMassGroup)has suggested that their bloggers go to Amazon and trash this book WITHOUT HAVING READ IT. This pretty much validates what Keller has written, that MA leftists often can't seem to take the same criticism they dish out. For MA residents who actually keep up with news, there's not much new here. However, and this is important, MA politicians seem to ...
