Re-read so good I emailed my HS English teacher. I don’t really have anything to say about this book that hasn’t already been said by people who are much more eloquent than I am, but it honestly can't be praised enough. This book is truly a work of art. It is a real triumph of literature and storytelling. The only book ever. If there is one book everyone should read in their life, it’s this one. I feel like I will be thanking Alice Walker for the rest of my life. Miss Celie, you will always be famous <3

The only reason I rated this 3 starts is because it’s very different from what I normally enjoy reading but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. Not everything you read has to be light; if that statement resonates with you then don’t be afraid to pick up this highly acclaimed book.
