The Pearl

Rating:
Summary: Recommended
Review: A short novel with a deeper meaning to it. About human nature, a poor man's hopes and dreams, and other's envy and greed. Read it and your life will be richer. The language is simple but I think that adds to the beauty of the novel. If you don't appreciate this book, well i don't know what to say- you really missed out on something. I recommend it.

Summary: I think The Pearl was an okay book but I've read better.
Review: I had to read The Pearl for school, and I thought it wasn't a very interesting book. Because it was so predictable, and it could of been longer. The Pearl did have a good moral though. So if you like reading short books read this one.

Summary: An "okay" book
Review: I recently read the book, "The Pearl" as an assignment. I thought it was kind of boring, but it did have some strong points. I liked the way that it was kind of realistic, but I didn't like that it had so much description in some parts. It got a little boring when it had too much description. I think there should have been different emtions, not just all depressing and sad all of the time. If you have lost of extra time, then you should read this book, but there are better ones out there!

Summary: Don't read it
Review: This book was very poorly written I think. It was absolutely a boring book. It didn't have any adventure at all. There is no detail so you didn't get a good mental picture of the characters. This book was way too predictable and wouldn't read it if someone payed me too.

Rating:
Summary: I give this book a rating of.....gee I wonder maybe a -999.
Review: I did not like this book at all. It was a big waste of time. I would rather watch grass grow than to read this book again. If you haven't read this book yet, save yourself now while you still can....DON'T READ THIS BOOK !!!!!!!

Summary: I thought John S. did a bad job
Review: I thought he portrayed the characters like they were real people, I like that. on the other hand thats the only thing I liked about this poor quality, written book

Rating:
Summary: The book was good.
Review: I had to read The Pearl for school and until now all the books I read for school were horrible, but The Pearl stood out. I didn't want it to finish. The worst thing about the book was that it was so short. I feel Steinbeck did such a great job, if he was still alive I would shake his hand.

Rating:
Summary: It is a pretty great book.
Review: I had to read it for school.

Summary: The Pearl is an excellent book! I recommend it!!!
Review: I read the Pearl when I lived back home in Africa. Steinbeck does a great job at keeping his readers emotionally excited. The book takes a positive turn when Kinko, a poor fisherman finds a pearl that would radically transform his life. The stage is set for the transition, but trouble befalls Kinko's family and the story takes a sad turn! I recommend The Pearl for those interested in understanding the tale of life. The Pearl is a book worth reading over and over again!!!

Summary: A very beautiful, touching, emotional book
Review: I love The Pearl. It is a very emotional book with lots of feeling to it. At the end I cried it was so sad. The Pearl is about some poor people in Mexico and how they aren't treated fairly. Many cruel things happen to the poor people. Beautiful writing. I loved it!
