Book Reviews of The Pearl (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: Great Book and I had to read it for 8th grade
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm tired of having reviewers gripe about how teenagers obviously don't understand what theya re talking about and simpy can't fully appreciate a work of literature. I am in 8th grade and this book was required reading for me. At first I agreed and didn't really enjoy it. Fortunately I had an English teacher who was perceptive enough to be able to point out the subtle metaphors that Steinbach uses consistantly throughout the novel. Everything from the recurring ants to the subtle legerdemain of the pearl buyer. I for one am one satisfied reader who was forced to read this terrific novel.
