Summary: Steinbeck Is the Best Author
Review: The Pearl, is a wonderfull book. If you just read it, you will get about %10 of what Steinbeck meant for you to get. You need to look at more of the literature elements, the way the town changes, the way the ant hill is mentioned 6 times and what it referes to, and the Big fish eatting the little fish. With action, sorrow, and a great plot, The Pearl is the best book I have read.

Summary: Clear, neat, and deep
Review: I love the book. However, it is so heartbreaking the story ends in that way. Poor Kino.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent and Meaningful
Review: I believe that if you truly understand literature, and spend enough time really reading this book with care, you will realize what a deep and true meaning this book holds. There are lots of hidden meanings, and much that shows humanity and truth about people. It was very beautifully written, with clear images and detail. It was fun to read, and had a lot of inner thoughts that you'd have to read carefully to grasp. I really recommend it!

Summary: Excellent, a great tale about the evils of money & greed
Review: I liked this story. It showed how money can change a person and those around him. It is a short quick read well worth your time. Even though Kino was well liked by everyone, greedy people still tried to kill him to get his pearl. In the end an innocent victim pays the price. Don't let foolish teenage reviewers keep you from getting this book.

Summary: Harsh tale about human greed
Review: The pearl is a sad tale, beautifully written and with wonderful, simple description. It depicts the truth that richness doesn't necessarily bring happiness, in fact it is a curse to Juana and Kino. As with stories in real life the victim tends to be an innocent one, in this case it's the baby.

Summary: The Goodnight Pearl
Review: If I didn't go to sleep with this book, nothing has ever made me sleep before. No wonder The first book by Steinbeck wasn't a hit. If Night pills don't help you get your zzzz's, this book will. I was assigned to read this book for a class project, and I literally was upset by the beginning, middle and ending. This book was an example of everything you would expect. Nothing to give you suspense. What a bore!!

Summary: My thoughts on Steinbeck's, "The Pearl"
Review: I feel that this book is about the diffrences between classes, how possibly the Doctor gave Coyotito poison, then came back the next hour and treated it. It is also about how money can change a person and the people around him, as the people who tried to steal the pearl, burn down his house, and the hole in his boat. We feel more sympathetic with Juana in the first half of the book, then with Kino. This is a great book that I would recommend to everyone...

Summary: At first I liked the story then as it went on it got boring.
Review: The ending of the book left me hanging,well a lot of the book did I hate it when a book leaves me to finish. If John hed answered all the questions in the book then it would of ben better for me. Sorry I am so negative about the book but it is the way I feel.
