Summary: a good book
Review: I read The Pearl in seventh grade and it was my favorite book for a long time. The mood of the book is one of tragedy and at times weighs heavily on you, but in doing so it skillfully conveys the emotions of the characters and the effect of the circumstances they find themselves in.

Summary: A book with a good lesson
Review: The Pearl by John Steinbeck is a very good book. I would recommend this book for everybody because it is a good story about how a person's life can change so quickly. A poor Indian family didn't have the money to take their sick baby to the doctor until they found "The Pearl of the World" and it turned their lives around. Kino (the main character) doesn't think twice about all the things they can get with it. Greed starts to take over Kino and the pearl turns to evil. At the end Kino finally realizes that the most important thing to him is family, but it's too late.

Summary: It was horribly boring
Review: This book was a very classic american tale. It was quite boring and if it wasn't for a book report I would have stopped reading it on page 6. It was short and was extremely easy. I suggest you read Of MICE AND MEN if you can.

Summary: The Pearl, full of meaning, is a valuable book to read.
Review: The human nature which is bad or good is well implied in this book. John Steinbeck doesn't use the expression sentences such as "He is angry." He used a very special way to present what kind emotion the main character has such as "There is a song of enemy." On the other hand, at the end of this story, although the character gives up his wealth and dreams, he finally realizes what is the most valuable thing in the world --- not the pearl, not the wealth, it is his family.

Summary: boring
Review: the story was the worst book I have ever had the pleasure to read. The plot made me sick. It was so boring that I feel asleep reading it if I could I would go back and burn all the copies. It was the worst book ever writen. I do not know how they printed it.

Summary: I thought that the book was boring.
Review: I think that the book had good descriptions of the characters and events that happened throughout the coarse of the story. I just didn't think that the book was very interesting, and the plot could have been better, but all and all it was a good book, if you like dramatic stories about a family that gets caught up in tramatic and strenous situations. I am more an action/fictoinal type of reader. Though I would read it on a rainy day.
Rating:
Summary: exciting
Review: I liked it very much it was very interesting. He put a lot of detail in his writing of The Pearl. You never knew what was going to happen next. In my opinion it was easy reading.
