The Pearl

Rating:
Summary: A highly symbolic parable of life.
Review: This is one of the books that i've read that really sticks to my mind. I read it back when i was still in high school and was so enchanted by it. Not so much because it was easy to read but because it takes the reader into the heart of a human and prepares it as a battle ground for moral values. It is a highly symbolic, timeless parable that would forever be proven true by our own existence.

Summary: I felt that it was more like an overcomplicated childs book
Review: I can't say that the book was good, but it was okay as far as an age 11-14 story goes. It is a story about A poor indian man and his wife and baby that find a "Great Pearl", vast in size. The Pearl to me was a not so interesting story that came from an intelligent mind. (but dull plot and story)

Summary: This book is boring,
Review: but it has a surprise ending. I'm in eighth grade and I wasforced to read this. If you want to read this by choice, CHOOSESOMETHING ELSE!!!!!

Rating:
Summary: The Pearl was a good story, but with too much description.
Review: The Pearl had a great overall story. John Steinback uses alot of description in this book, and sometimes it gets a little overdone. I think this is a good book for young adults.

Rating:
Summary: Dull and depressing.
Review: The pearl in my opinion is quite simply the most boring book ever written in the english language. How anyone can give this book more than one star is beyond me.Choosing between suicide and a second reading would certainly mean my unpreventable loss of life.

Review: I read this in 9th grade and I loved it! It's short, fast paced, and the author sounds like a poet in the whole thing! It has a great moral about human nature and should be read by evryone!

Summary: I liked this book .It was very exciting.
Review: This book had a small plot,but still kept the reader interested.Some of the events were in the book were not told when they happened,but were revealed later in the book.In the book Kino(the main charater)learned not to abuse his wealth, but not to ignore it.

Summary: The Pearl: The book you would want to read last
Review: If you haven't read it, don't. The Pearl has no point. Who cares if a poor indian guy finds a little ball of white compacted sand? READ SOMETHING ELSE! You want to know why they gave it an award? Becase it's the book most middle school students are forced to read but loath!
