The Pearl

Rating:
Summary: This was a boring book!
Review: I believe The Pearl is a book that could have had great potential, if it would not have been so depressing. I also believe The Pearl was very predictable. In my opinion the author didn't put too much thought into it. I know a 5th grader that could have writen a better novel. Most would say The Perl stunk, well i say to those people, "Right On." If you are made to read this book over the summer i will tell u right now try not to read it. If u must, get a review on it and say u red it because it is not interesting. P.S. i am only 12 so pardon my spelling.

Summary: A book about the way men and women act
Review: This was a great book to read. It tells a story of how material possessions can change man. It describes the forces of evil and uses great description.

Summary: Man finds pearl, students suffer over summer break.
Review: I had to read The Pearl this summer. I read it, and I hated it. I've still yet to do an outline and a character description. It was a very predictable book, and it seems to be at a 3rd grade level. But, even a 3rd grader would find it boring. I'm going into 9th grade soon, and please, if there are any teachers reading this, pick an enjoyable book for summer assignments, not a boring book.

Summary: One word, torture!
Review: I've noticed that everyone else that read this was in like 6th-8th grade. I'm in 10th grade Honors English and I have to read it for a SUMMER reading assignment. So I believe I have it worse than any of u. The book was not at all interesting and it took me about a week to finish it b/c I could never sit down long enough to be that bored. If u are assigned to do a report on this book, beg ur teach to let u out of the assignment. I'm definitely not exagerating!

Summary: The book is about a poor man and his struggles with wealth.
Review: "The Pearl" was a well written book with lots of detail. I had to read it for 7th grade English over the summer. It is very dramatic and it feels like you were actually there during the main events.

Summary: enlighten us with "DO NOT SAY ANYTHING RELATE TO MONEY"
Review: This is a book for who doesn't like money much. In the book, Kino's pearl brings only devil to his family. It's normal a man imagines how his futre is so bright when the man has a great deal of money on his hands. But <<The Pearl>> tries to prevent us from greeding money using a sad ending that Kino's son, Coyotito is death.////////// i am enlightened not to be a greedy person. i'm enlightened to beware of other's evil eyes and evil mind if i have much money. i am enlightened

with that money isn't everything in the world.////////// However, these could be innocent thoughts in this country because money is the basic enery for people's hard working. May be it is the reason that <<The Pearl>> isn't accepted by the community; and the people think the book is boring.

Summary: A Lost Cause
Review: This book is supposed to show and foreshadow evil of wealth and greed, but many events contradict this and so this John Steinbeck's book is utterly pointless. It is a poor excuse for a moral.
