The Color Purple
Review:
This book I don’t feel comfortable rating this. It has excellent writing and great characters. It was a little hard to read because of how badly the women were treated. I hated that she forgave the men so quickly, so I got a little mad at the characters. It was really cool that the main character was gay, and the love interest was bi. It did nothing say exactly what sexuality they were, but it was obvious that she only liked women. It makes it even sadder that she was married to a man she did not know. I like how the man redeemed himself in the end, broke gender norms, and started making clothes with Celcie. It would have been unfortunate if Nettie was dead, so I am happy she was not. It was hard to keep track of the relationships because many went back and forth between partners. I am so glad I have never had to experience these things, and I hope I never will. Overall this was a good book, but it was very hard to read.
