The Pearl

Rating:
Summary: This book teaches a couple of good lessons.
Review: Although this book is small, as many have observed, its conciseness makes its messages easy to understand. The book is an example of how people of certain groups attribute bad happenings to the attempt of changing their position in society. It could also be an example of how peoples' lives change when they put too much faith in material wealth. I think the book teaches excellent lessons and should be read by everyone.

Review: What's wrong with you people? IT'S JUST A BOOK!It takes maybe an hour to read--it's not even worth complaining about!

Summary: The Pearl was kinda ok.
Review: I had to read the Pearl for an English assignment since I am in 8th grade and in New York State. We read the novel in my Literature textbook & we had to answer questions about each chapter. Personally, I really didn't enjoy it that much. I mean the only thing that really healed Coyotito's scorpion sting was the poultice that Juana made for him. John Steinbeck made a big deal out of nothing. I think that if there was a better ending, that maybe teens, like me, would like it more. But I have to say that the ending was a bit TOO DEPRESSING!! That's my opinion anyway. Some of my classmates liked it a lot, and others didn't. That's why I give The Pearl 3 stars out of 5 stars.

Summary: Guy finds pearl then his kid gets killed end of book.
Review: I had to read this book for a english assignment. We were forced to buy the quite small book for five dollars. I read the book that night in an hour or less. It was not worth the money or the time I spent on it.

Summary: Life has changed for Kino and Juana.
Review: When Kino found the pearl, their lives began to change. They dream of changes that will effect Coyotitos live, and as well as theirs. The pearl didn't bring happiness, but it brought sadness. They lost their only love-Coyotito due to the pearl. The world has changed so fast when Kino became rich, but is wealth everything?

Summary: If there was a -0 star, that is what i would give it!
Review: Aughh! Have you noticed that everyone had to read this book for an assignment in 8th grade, i had to read it in sixth! Want my opinion? This book couldn't be worse; don't even use it as a doorstop; it'll scare away your visitors. I agree with the other "pearl haters" anyone who reads this must be fully caught up with their sleep not to drowse off. I had to listen to it aloud and, i'm not kidding, i fell asleep!! No kidding! Okay, okay, 'nuff said. Just that DO NOT GET THE BOOK UNLESS YOU NEED FIREWOOD! Got it? Okay, if i see another person buy this book, i know the world has problems.
