Summary: Man finds pearl, students suffer over summer break.
Review: I had to read The Pearl this summer. I read it, and I hated it. I've still yet to do an outline and a character description. It was a very predictable book, and it seems to be at a 3rd grade level. But, even a 3rd grader would find it boring. I'm going into 9th grade soon, and please, if there are any teachers reading this, pick an enjoyable book for summer assignments, not a boring book.

Summary: One word, torture!
Review: I've noticed that everyone else that read this was in like 6th-8th grade. I'm in 10th grade Honors English and I have to read it for a SUMMER reading assignment. So I believe I have it worse than any of u. The book was not at all interesting and it took me about a week to finish it b/c I could never sit down long enough to be that bored. If u are assigned to do a report on this book, beg ur teach to let u out of the assignment. I'm definitely not exagerating!

Summary: The book is about a poor man and his struggles with wealth.
Review: "The Pearl" was a well written book with lots of detail. I had to read it for 7th grade English over the summer. It is very dramatic and it feels like you were actually there during the main events.

Summary: enlighten us with "DO NOT SAY ANYTHING RELATE TO MONEY"
Review: This is a book for who doesn't like money much. In the book, Kino's pearl brings only devil to his family. It's normal a man imagines how his futre is so bright when the man has a great deal of money on his hands. But <<The Pearl>> tries to prevent us from greeding money using a sad ending that Kino's son, Coyotito is death.////////// i am enlightened not to be a greedy person. i'm enlightened to beware of other's evil eyes and evil mind if i have much money. i am enlightened

with that money isn't everything in the world.////////// However, these could be innocent thoughts in this country because money is the basic enery for people's hard working. May be it is the reason that <<The Pearl>> isn't accepted by the community; and the people think the book is boring.

Summary: A Lost Cause
Review: This book is supposed to show and foreshadow evil of wealth and greed, but many events contradict this and so this John Steinbeck's book is utterly pointless. It is a poor excuse for a moral.

Summary: Wow, you can't get much better
Review: I decided to read this book after a friend had suggested it, and I am so glad that I had done so. This is one of those books that in order to get the full feel for it you should slow down while reading it. Though you can't seem to you always want to know what is going to happen next. I feel this is one of the best books I have ever read.
