Summary: I enjoyed this book very much.
Review: I thought this book was excellent, but it had quite a few weaknesses to it. The characters are not described clearly. My favorite part was when Cassie,Moe,and Stacey entered Memphis and they went to stay with a person Cassie knew who studied the law until they could find a train for Moe. Mildred Taylor is one of my favorite authors because she writes to show how black people have loving,caring families and are no different from our families. She wants us to think about the good things about black people,not the bad things.

Summary: Taylor finishes the series with a bang!
Review: I would have liked to read more about the Logan's future in following books, but I was pleased with Taylor's latest and final chapter of the Logan Family. Taylor adds new storylines, and characters as she reveals how each Logan child has grown up during the rugged 30's and 40's. If you want to learn how life was back in the 1930's for blacks, read this and it will give you chills

Summary: A Great book thats makes you want to read more.
Review: In this book the Logan children experience a lot of things that get them ready for the real world. At the beginning, life is going pretty well. Life changes when Cassie's big brother, Stacey buys a new car that is very nice for an African American. It all starts in Strawberry when some white boys are making fun of Moe. They say things that really make him mad. He explodes and hits them with a crow bar. He then jumps into a truck that belongs to Jeremy Simms, a long time friend of the Logans. Jeremy is related to the people Moe just beat up. Being the good friend, Jeremy jumps in the truck and drives off. The Logans take off and pick up Moe in another town so they can take him to Memphis so he can catch a train to Chicago. On their way to Memphis they run into a lot of trouble with white people and they have a lot of car trouble. When the get near Memphis, Clarence gets really sick and has to go to an old lady's house to get better. The Logans finally get to Memphis and they get their car fixed so they can make it home. They finally get Moe on a train ticket. When he is getting ready to leave he expresses his love for Cassie. She is very disappointed because she knows she might not ever see him again. The ending of the book amazed me so to find out you need to read it.I really enjoyed this book because it showed what black people had to put up with everyday. Also because it taught a very good lesson which was that even if things go bad they can turn out well. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is the first book of this series.
Let the Circle Be Unbroken is the second book in this series.

Summary: The Road to Memphis
Review: My rating of The Road to Memphis on a scale of one to ten would be a seven. This is because it is slightly boring and the author overreacts to small situations and does not put enough detail into the bigger, more important events. On the other hand the book is very well written the author paints a vivid picture of the scene in your mind. I did not like this book as much as Mildred D. Taylor's first book of the series, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, although that novel was also boring. Compared to other books of its genre, it would be one of the best. Mildred D. Taylor is a wonderful author and describes situations very vividly and imaginatively. The only problem with this is that Ms. Taylor gets to describing things too often and too much. This makes for an extremely long book. The Road to Memphis is only the least bit not enjoyable because it is not only too long, but also slow moving and boring. A long book is no crime, but if the book is so boring that the reader has to struggle to keep his eyes open, that is when it gets bad. The Road to Memphis is a good exciting book at a few points in the book. The end and a small amount of scenes in the middle are gripping and you will not want to stop reading the book. When nothing is happening, though it is extremely boring. The Road to Memphis blends romance, action, and tragedy. I would suggest it to anyone with a lot of patience and time.

Summary: Great Book!Best book I've read in a while.
Review: Road to Memphis-was I think was far by the best book out of Roll Of Thunder and Let The Circle Be Unbroken. I read the whole book in one night,I just couldn't put it down, Its the type of book that you cant wait to see how it ends, but never want it to actually end. The only dissapointment I had was the end. What happens to Jeremy? does Moe get caught?Do Moe and Cassie end up together? Anyone go to war? I am really hoping that Mildred Taylor will soon write a sequal.

Summary: I Recommend This Book!
Review: Taylor's novel returns one to the sometimes joyful and sometimes tragic lives of the Logan family. Cassie, at seventeen years of age, is almost entering the adult world. She certainly experiences painful situations that would be difficult for any adult to handle. I thoroughly enjoyed traveling through this story with Cassie and her friends. I think this book has helped me to feel more deeply about what prejudice must have been like for Cassie, who's life choices were limited by the color of her skin. This book is not only entertaining, but it is thought provoking. It makes one look at how far we have come through the civil rights movement since the 1930's, and realize how much farther we need to go. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: This Book is Great
Review: The Logan family is a black family who live in Mississippi during the time right before World War II. Cassie Logan, the main character is going to school when a friend gets into trouble and they have to take him to Memphis so he won't get arrested. Many things happen showing that the prejudice between black and white is far from being solved. Cassie ecspecially feels the sting of this prejudice as she realizes her dream of becoming a lawyer is not possible.
I loved this book. It is exciting and full of adventure and it makes you realize how long it took for the African- American people to get their freedom and it makes you ask your self if they really are free today.
