Book Reviews of The Color Purple (Cliffs Notes)
Book Review: A very moving story
Summary: 5 Stars
The Color Purple is about a young, shy, balck woman named Celie. At the beginning of the novel she is has no self confidence but at the end she has loads. With the help of other characters in the novel, Celie becomes more aware of her feelings towards other people. I thought this was a very enjoyable book to read and i'm sure there will not be one person who has read this book and didn't enjoy it.
