Cezanne Pinto: A Memoir

Rating:
Summary: Mary Stolz has the most beautiful command of language.
Review: Cezanne Pinto is a wonderful story about slavery, about human strength,about perseverance,and about finding who you are to your soul. We read it aloud as a family and both my 8 year old and my 14 year old enjoyed the story. As for myself, the story is compelling, but what really moved me is that Mary Stolz has the most beautiful command of language. Some of the passages were so rich and lovely to read that I would read them aloud again and again just to hear their music. It is described as a children's book, but it can hold its own with most of the finest adult literature out there. I wish she would write more ...

Summary: The History of Cezanne Pinto
Review: This book was very good! I enjoyed it a lot. There was very much suspense since he could be beaten or killed if he were caught doing something wrong. I would recommend it for people of all ages. I found only one problem with this book. It lacked action at some parts in the book which made those parts seem kind of boring. Otherwise, it was an excellent book!

Summary: UNDERSTANDABLE
Review: This story weaved a story of racism, bravery, adulthood, and coping with loss all together. Stoltz's ending is also a wonderful one, with a reflection on life and ending with a line from Cezannes boyhood years. wonederful book, wonderful message.
