It was o.k
The bluest eye displays extremely well the toils and pitfalls of being black in 1940's America. Although slavery was abolished at this point, stigma was still in place for being black. The struggle that Pecola faces in the novel is one that can be represented to each and everyone of us in our everyday lives. Beauty is what people are rated on, in today's society, and it is a shame. Being ugly puts you at a disadvantage, portrayed in the novel and life itself.

A SIMPLE BOOK! The only profound effect it might make on someone would have to take effect on someone who has experienced the same type of pains as the characters. I was not terribly bored, yet I would not neccessarily recomend it. Though, I am only a 18-yr. old white girl without the experience of a segregated society. Even without the experience, I do not feel I have been enlightened to anything new.

i thought this book was pretty good. Although the sexual abuse and language was hard to read about. But, other than that I thought that this was a good book and it had a good ending.

The general story was great. But when I read it all i could see was sexual abuse, girls becoming women, and just gross things; Then at the end of the book it actually talks about 'BLUE EYES' go figure

Is a book about life in the 1940's that is not based on a true story but has valuable points about black American life at that time. I had to read this book for my Hn English class and found it most intriguing and highly recommend everyone should read it.
