Summary: Tamrah's review for Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry
Comment: A sad but true very good book, that will have you laughing and crying with the Logans, as they get through their hard times, good times and in-between times.
If you have never read this book you must get ready for in-your-face racism dealing with the Wallace's who can't seem to accept the pride the Logsn's get from their land , that all people are created equal, that the Civil War is over, and that all white people are like them, like the only colorblind one in the family Jeremy who is the youngest Wallace andis friends' with the Logan children, then finally T.J. with his foolishess dealing with the older Wallace boys R.W. and Melvin who he swears are his friends.
On a scale from 1to 10 I would rate it a 15 . This Newberry Award winning book will have you wondereing,"What are these peple thinking?" and "Why would someone do that?"
If you don't beleive me you will just have to read the book yourself. I personally think people all around thr world should read this book , I enjoyed this book and I think you will too.

Summary: Excellent! Don't leave this one on the shelf!
Comment: In a word I can describe this book as amazing. This book is about the Logans-a Black family-living in Mississippi in the 1930's who overcome racial segregation and bias, struggle to stand up to their white neighbors, and fight to keep their land. The land is the center of the Logans love toward each other. Their land is what holds the family together and keeps them from spreading apart. The story is written in Cassie's-the main character-point of view and how she sees things. Taylor does a great job in maneuvering Cassie so she can overhear certain conversations that are important to the books development of the conflict, and the resolution. Throughout the novel the Logans go through a Bus accident, a little girl that finally gets her revenge, and a great sacrifice that no one will ever forget.
I was introduced to this book when it was assigned as a literature study in my English class. Though I, along with others, groaned when the assignment was made, I have greatly taken that moan back. Once I started, I couldn't stop. The author's supense, humor, setting, and a great use of southern dialect for the dialogue make this book a hard one to put down. Though I have only read this book once, I plan to read it many, many times in the future. Take my advice, this book is unbelivable. Don't let the dust gather on it too much longer; it deserves to be read and cherished.

Summary: It was okay...
Comment: I had to read this book for school, and it just made me bored out of my mind. It didn't really hold my attention, and the only reason I finished it was because I had to. It was a very well-written book, but just not the kind of book I enjoy to read in my spare time.
