Rating:
Summary: We liked this book but it was a bit overdramitic!
Review: We liked the book because it talked about serious issues and people acheiving their dreams.like when all the characters had a dream. Mama's dream was to buy a house with a garden and to make her children happy. Ruth's dream is to make a better family life. Beneatha has a dream to become a doctor and to use the money for her college education. Walter's dream is to open up a liquor store to become rich. We didn't like it because it was overdramitic. Some overdramatic scenes were when walter found out willie ran off with the money. Another dramatic scene is when Beneatha and walter do that African dance. Overall it was a pretty good book.

Rating:
Summary: Not a very bad book, but not great.
Review: I like the begining of the book when mama received the ten thousands dollars. Also i like when Walter lost the six thousands dollars. But I hate when Walter and the man argue and Benetha complants.I also like the end when walter tell the man and his family that he is moving to the neighborhood. Not a bad book at all.

Rating:
Summary: This book lacked an intersting plot or characters.
Review: I found this book to be an utter waste of my time. You follow a black family in Chicago through a few days of their lives in which they attempt to buy a new home. Overall the plot was dull and there was no real excitement. The climax was subtle and made no major difference in the readers mind. If you are looking for a good book this is not one of them.

Rating:
Summary: mind-boggling
Review: I did not get it! Can you explain it

Rating:
Summary: A great Book
Review: A Raisin in the Sun is a book about the importance of family values, in the black community during times of racial discrimination. The fact that they all were worried more about the money and what they wanted to do with thier share instead of being concerned for the grandmother and her wishes. Her wishes were more family oriented and benefitted everyone. The book teaches us a lesson that nothing should come between family ties. This is definitly one of my favorites even though i'm not much of a book fan. The film verion featuring Sidney Poutie was very interesting as well.

Rating:
Summary: This book is dragged out as well as being somewhat boring.
Review: Plot twists are normally a very important piece of a book, however, this one has a very subtle one. As well as the climax of the book that has them in a conflict with a white fellow who lives in the neighborhood they wish to move to. Wow, riveting stuff here! Do yourself a favor and find something else.

Summary: It is a book that makes us appreciate what we have.
Review: Of all the books I have read, I would have to say that, A Raisin In The Sun, is not the best book I have read but it is not the worst. What I liked most about this novel is the fact that it is a very realistic story. Many of the things that occur in it are real life situations. I like stories that have real life situations in them because I sometimes can relate to them or know someone who can. In this situation I can't relate to it. What I didn't like about this novel is the fact that it takes place in such a short time. The reason why I dislike stories that take place in such short amounts of time is because I feel that the author does not include enough time for changes to occur. I am use to reading books that take place over a time period of a couple years and/or just through one summer. A Raisin in the Sun, takes place in a very small apartment building awhile back. There are five family members living in the same place. On top of that, one of them expects another child. This is a family that struggles financially, like many people do in the real world. Three out of the five residents are working full time jobs trying to support the family. The other two do not work because one of them is just a kid and the other is in college hoping to become a doctor in the near future. Unfortunately this task is a lot harder than it seems because the money is limited on what they can do. The good thing is that there is an insurance check coming worth ten thousand dollars. To find out more about the money, you must read this novel. The other problem is that they want to move out of the apartment they live in and into a real house that actually has a yard to play in for the kids. After they buy the house, the next problem that lies ahead is that their new house is in an all white neighborhood . As far as books that are related to A Raisin in the Sun, I'm not really sure if there are any books that are similar to this one. If there is, I haven't read it yet.

Summary: Wow!!!!
Review: My 8th grade English class has spent a whole month reading and discussing this book, but believe me, there were no complaints from anyone. This is a great book--it's got a good message about dreams and success--one of the best "school project" books I've ever read.
