  • Insightful story

    I found the dialect difficult to follow. Jamie’s story was interesting. As a northerner, I never experienced many of the prejudices depicted in the book was so ashamed that they not only existed but were applied to anyone with black skin regardless. I liked the tight bonds developed between the characters.

  • My Eyes were Reading Zora Neale Hurston

    I read the book for a women's lit class I am taking. It is well-written with a compelling plot. At times the dialect is difficult to plow through, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the book.

  • Acceptable

    The story is very good. The condition of the book wasn't. There was an odor and notes written on the pages. I overlook these things, as the price was good and I am able to enjoy the novel.
