I rated this 5 star because i honestly could not put this book down. It was one of those books i just wanted to keep on reading to find out what happens next. I felt so bad for this girl that i cryed while reading this book. I would recomend this stroy to anyone who enjoys a heartfilled book on a brave little girl.
This book was a real eye opener for me. I realized a lot from this girl Precious. Never give up during rough times and don't let nobody tell you how to live your life. Precious is this brave little girl who had to take on a lot through out her life. Her mother was a very crazy women. If she didn't follow what her mother was saying, she would beat Preciouse brudly. Her father would rape Preciouse every night and manged to get her pregenant twice. Her mother blamed her for the rape and called her a husband stealing slut. Precious struggles with more then her at home issues. She has to deal with school and all the drama there. She got suspended from her school for being pregnant and when she thinks there is no hope, she meets this teacher at her new school named Ms. Rain who shows her if you try your hardest anything is possible. Precious then finds the vaules in life and speaks her mind and finally realizes that there is people out there who do care about her.
Right off the bat i just wanted to say that this is one off my FAVORITE books of all time. This book spoke to me in different ways then to you and probablyothers to, but it shows what an amazing writer Saphire is to show that she can protray to so many different audiences. I also liked how you not only creativly weaved the sypnosis into your own opinion on the story, but how you really got me at your first sentence! Very powerful:)
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to read the book becasue a lot of fellow classmates were reading it, but after I read your blog, I wanted to read it even more. It sounds really interesting and I will definitely keep my eye out for this book. Also, I could totally relate with you about reading books that just keeps you wanting for more. Push definitely sounds like a page-turner and I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a hard book for me to read, it was heartbreaking and I am sure I cannot see the movie. But we can (and do) learn so much about others lives from reading, it's amazing to me to hear that some people don't enjoy it. Good job with a great book, Kim.
ReplyDeleteKimi your synopsis makes me wanna read it even more. I also would love to watch the movie. I saw the preview and it looked amazing. I can only think of how good the book must be.
ReplyDeleteKim, you really captured the brutally honest nature of this story. I saw the movie but have yet to read the book and am interested. Over the course of this year I have been volunteering at New Beginning's a women's crisis center. It's not a side of life for any of us to look at but the power of these individuals to rise above is incredible.
ReplyDeleteKim, your post on this book was great. I posted about this book and you are right, it is sooooo hard to put down. I loved how you said "Never give up during rough times and don't let nobody tell you how to live your life." That is a key message in this book and you nailed it! I know I have my opionion on whey Precious did not just run away, but why do you think she did not run away? I think that is a question many people ask about and I would love to hear what your thoughts on it are. Over all you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteYou provide deep information about the girl in the story as well as the events. It seems like you did a very good job with the book, though it was probably very sad and sentimental from the sounds of you're review.
