This book is about a young black girl named Pecola, who thinks that her life would be better if she had blue eyes and therefore she wishes for them.  This book has been on my radar for quite some time and I'm glad that I finally read it.  I've only read this and Beloved by Toni and I liked this book a lot more than Beloved.  It is a devastating read and there are some shocking parts in this book that I didn't expect.  It is a sad read.
