Summary: AWSOME!
Review: This book is truely a work of art. I enjoyed reading this book from the moment Muhammad came over, to the surprising ending. If you are going to buy any book about American Slavery and how the poor negores struggled to gain what they wanted, this should be the book!

Summary: Flat, 2-d, unoriginal
Review: This book was not only unoriginal, but it had a poor storyline as well. Only read it if your teacher makes you!

Summary: This book describes African-Americans troubles greatly.
Review: This is one of the 3 best books I've ever read. It describes the troubles and triumphs of the African-American people in a wonderful, yet light way. It probably makes the troubles and obstacles of African-Americans seem smaller than they actually are, but the book still gives a close to insider view. It was a great book.

Summary: outstanding novel
Review: This is the story of one family. A family whose history saw its first ancestor captured, shackled and brought to this country from Africa. I beleive its a story of pride love and determination. Just think of it, theres just one piece of land that holds them together through it all.

Summary: A Good Book
Review: This was a good book. The only bad thing about this book is that they didn't really spend a lot of time on each of the characters. The book was sort of exciting because there were many exciting parts. The beginning of the book was interesting but in the end, it was kind of boring. The book talks about 5 generations of an African family starting from when the first one from their family arrived in America. The family faces racism and that their family members were once slaves. In the end of the story like most of them, its always a happy ending. The story also talks about the family owning a sweet potato plantation and how they are trying to keep the plantation through all the generations. The family has a set of slave chains that came from the first person that came from their family to America. They pass it dawn to the person that they trust the most.

Summary: Greatest Book ever!
Review: Throughout the story, the history of an African-American family is known through this excellent book. Walter Dean Myers does a wonderful job of showing us how life long ago, before we were born, was so dramatically different, from life today. If this book hadn't been one of my required summer reading books, I don't think I would have ever read it. I was delighted to have read it, and now this book is one of my favorates.

Summary: An avid fan of Walter Dean Myers
Review: Walter Dean Myers book, "The Glory Field" was a benevolent book. Although, not my favorite of his writings this book still maintains his classic way of making everything coherently flow. I found it fascinating how he wrote several short stories for every generation of the Lewis family. It was also rewarding to read how and what an African-American family as well as race went through over the many decades. After reading this book, I was left with a feeling of awe and rapt admiration for all the pain, suffering, and finally victory, that my ancestors had to endure. If anyone is looking to gain a new respect for the African-American culture at large, then I recommend this book, "The Glory Feild" by Walter Dean Myers,for you.You truly won't be able to put it down.

Summary: A Wonderful, Relalistic History
Review: WALTER DEAN MYERS REALLY MAKES YOU THINK IN THIS BOOK...IT SHOWS HOW SLAVERY AFFECTED A FAMILY FROM THE SHIP TO AMERICA TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. IT TAKES YOU INTO THE LIVES OF THOSE OF DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS AND SHOWS HOW A PIECE OF LAND DIVIDED THEM FROM THE WHITE MAN BY BONDED THEIR FAMILY FOREVER.
