Book Reviews of The Pearl (Centennial Edition)
Book Review: Lasting Impression
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1978-79 while in High School in Jamaica, was the first time I read this book. It is an amazing story but not a story. Facts on how our lives can be changed because of need. Facts on how we can lose sight of what is most valuable to us because of "luck". I am impressed with the the author's presentation of details throughout the book...I felt like I was watching the entire story unfold before my eyes. I think it was well written. For that reason I had to purchase a copy for my step-daughter and of course another for myself in 2007. Awesome book!!Book Review: A Simple Story Simply Told
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pearl is essentially a morality tale about how the pursuit of wealth can lead to unhappiness. Perhaps that is unfair; putting it that way conjures up images of preachiness and boredom. The Pearl is neither preachy nor boring. It is a simple, short story, well told. It is well worth the short time it will take you to read it.Book Review: Steinbeck
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a reason John Steinbeck is among the classic writers. He hits home with his books and courageously tells a tale that leads one right into the lives of his characters. I have been an avid reader since childhood and after East of Eden am a true Steinbeck fan. You are in for a great ride with his books, any of them.Book Review: It depends on how you look at it
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is perfect for teenagers. Very well narrated. Not too long. Of course, if you are a serious literature reader, this book is probably not the perfect for you. I love it anyway, I would recommend it to every kid I know.Book Review: ~The Pearl~
Summary: 5 Stars
The book was in terrific shape when I got it! No problems at all! Brand new! Although, I haven't started it yet...
