Book Reviews of The Color Purple: A Memory Book

Book Review: Color Purple Memory Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this book! I was hooked after I saw the musical and went right out and bought this book and the soundtrack. This book is great. It tells you the story of how the book came to be a musical and I enjoyed reading the process. I never would've known how long it takes to make a musical from a book and how to make the music tell the story. I would definately recommend this to anyone that has seen the musical!

Summary of The Color Purple: A Memory Book

From the Pulitzer-prize winning novel by Alice Walker, and the moving film by Steven Spielberg, has come a soul-stirring new musical and landmark Broadway hit that has critics and audiences on their feet. A musical that evokes a unique emotional response, it tracks the story of its heroine, Celie, from sexual abuse by her stepfather to physical abuse by her husband to "a roof-raising story of triumph." This gorgeously producedcompanion volume revisits what is so powerful about the show. The Color Purple: A Memory Book has the look and feel of a beautiful antique scrapbook, a keepsake for those who have experienced the musical and want to be able to experience its soaring emotions at any time, or who want to share Celie's journey with their loved ones. But it will also be a memory book of the road The Color Purple took ? from Alice Walker's memories right through to the sketches for the costumes and sets, from the cast's own struggles to the entire libretto, all of which have given Celie's against-the-odds triumph new life. Revealing, poignant, and stunning, The Color Purple: A Memory Book is a must-have book for anyone moved by Celie's story.
