After reading this book, I understand the reason for being listed as one of the most re-read books.
Written in such a memorable way, the growth of the characters is amazing - even the ones you couldn't stand for the first two-thirds of the book.
The writing style presents history, the writing itself reminds us of it.

Este es un libro muy reflexivo, empieza de manera muy cruda y nos lleva por un camino de auto descubrimiento del personaje principal, Celie.

A lo largo de la historia nos vamos adentrando en el mundo de la doble discriminación que sufre la mujer negra, en ese tiempo y todavía ahora.

Mi calificación de tres estrellas se debe a que la prosa no me encantó, es un libro epistolar con un lenguaje bastante básico, y el final tampoco me encantó demasiado, no me pareció tan realista..

Pretty good. I can see why it is beloved. Toward the end though, I started to lose interest and just wanted to be done. Still definitely recommend.

i have so many feelings about this book. just...wow. i went into this book not liking the whole epistolary style, especially because of not liking it with frankenstein. but the raw, powerful emotions along with realistic characters and an interesting plot helped me overcome that initial feeling. i recommend this to everyone. you won't regret it.
