A Raisin in the Sun

Rating:
Summary: It was incredible.
Review: I think A Raisin In The Sun was very good when I first started reading it kind of reminded me of the Good Times. The reason why I like this book is because it's real life problems and stuff alot of people can relate to. It's about this family in the ghetto facing every day problems and coping with growing up. But nothings ever goes their way it seems when one good thing happened two bad things happened. It like having 5 semester classes and getting a A in one class and failing the others.

Summary: An OK book
Review: People were telling me how good this book was and after reading it I didn't find it that great. Some parts were humorous but bore me at times. Easy reading though, if that's what you like.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Few books are as captivating and heart wrenching as this one. The book depicts the struggles and hardships of a black family in the 1930's with amazing grace and truthfulness. My idea of great literature was altered after I read this masterpiece. (P.S. Get the tissues; its a tear jerker!)

Review: -which delves into the heart of an early 60's lower class African American family struggling to live together in a crowded Chicago apartment. A widowed mother tries to teach her son the real values of life and hold her family together at the same time while selflessly trying to make both of her childrens dreams live.

Summary: Very un-entertainig book, which never seemed to get started.
Review: I had to read this book for school and I also had to do a report for it, and I felt I was being tortured by having to read it. Nothing interesting ever seems to happen in this book, therefore, I do not recommend this book to anyone, especially to teachers looking to have there students read it. To the teachers, I got a 100 percent on the test, because nothing interesting happened in the book to ask a question about. In closing, if you are looking to read a book, i suggest you pick a different one, if there was a zero star option I would have picked that.

Summary: pretty good but not the best
Review: This book had alot to do with the "American Dream" Everyone was striving for their own thing. It was all based on money. But in the end they saw that money will not make you happy. We thought this thought was clearly shown.

Summary: You must read this!
Review: "A Raisin in the Sun" was just another book I had to read in my 9th grade English class when I first started reading it. What I quickly discovered was that it was a captivating tale of a family being torn apart by their differing dreams after coming into some money. It offers a realistic depiction of desperate people who have lived in despair for too long. It seems corny to say that it changed my life, but I have never been able to look at things the same way again. To make this simple; this is a classic that everyone should read.

Summary: I love this book.
Review: I like the book because it was telling how people act in 1968 and still today they act liked that the whites people do not want the blacks to move in their neighborhood. And it was a really good book to read, but we should not judge people by the color of their skin but what is inside their hearts.
